Has become?? I remember the only time I went in there about 10 years ago - I was quite awestruck that a store so well-known OS for it's "luxury" was just so amazingly hideously tacky!

I've not been down that way in ages.

I assume the huge, Royal Warrent, coats of arms on the side of the building are long gone.

the duke of edinburgh withdrew his in 2000, apparently he was not amused by baseless allegations of murder.

This is a hypothetical question (and in any case would be from the person involved's point of view, and he has no doubt as to the circumstances of the murder).

A 70 million pound investigation decides that your mother was killed as a result of an employee of a large wealthy company being drunk at the wheel
Do you
a. welcome the findings
b. keep quiet
c. take out a court case of corporate manslaughter against the Knightsbridge grocer who was trying to weasel his way out of responsibility ?

Personally I go with c though as the Kb Grocer is very rich it will be impossible to make it stick.
The thought occurred to me that you could do a small dramatic recreation of the accident for a public safety advert on the importance of wearing a seatbelt and not drinking and driving. Of course I'd then have to flee the country to avoid a lynching.

That's a good point actually, however I believe TRHs have been raised that that sort of thing is beneath them ;p

To be fair to Mohammed Fayed, grief does really weird things. I hope he will finally accept the findings and try to move on.

preferably to another country. That was tax payers money they spent on the delusions of someone who obtained a major part of British retail history under dubious circumstances and bribed members of parliament. Makes Del Trotter look honest

Oh, I think he should be made to pay the government for the court costs, he certainly can afford it!

But aren't Sweden's royals also lizards, and thus will be in on the conspiracy?

Wow, something happens to match my theoretical question!

It's quite sad. Even though he's announced he's accepting the results, he still can't resist showing that he is in no way doing this.
