An honest request is appreciated rather than someone obviously scheming to bring the conversation round to a major request. SAs are experienced enough to figure out what you would be doing.

In case you didn't know and were planning on visiting CP soon, be warned that they've gone back on their decision to open on Sundays. The SM told me that after a trial period of 6 months, they realised it wasn't worth it.
Aww nevermind, at least Harrods is just a stones throw away.
Thanks for the heads up.
True, Harrods very close but in +10yrs I have rarely managed to be attended to! I think I managed it once after a 15min wait...
I cannot understand why anyone would want to shop at Harrods when most of the brands have better stocked shops a stone throw away. Every time visit CP, it is a pleasure. NBS comes second in my books but can be a bit busy. As for Harrods...well...I’d rather not comment any further...
Harrods is less than 5 mins on foot from CP which is why I mentioned it. My experience shopping there has been pleasant and I find it best when I go first thing as it opens on a Sunday which is good for me as I live outside of London and traffic/parking is easier then. The store isn’t as packed either. I find they have good stock of major brands and there’s also their loyalty card which gives you something for nothing (if you shop there enough).
I totally understand. Having many major brands under one roof is an advantage for some. I’ve also heard that their reward scheme is quiet good. Maybe I should try getting there early as you suggest. My problem is that at weekends, I can’t get out of bed early enough to hit the store at opening time ... [emoji23]
More seriously, I detest the crowd and shopping wise, I only go to central London for shoes and H.
I have to say while I do know really, really nice SAs at Harrods, shopping H there is best if one is lucky enough to go weekdays and early. So the experience depends a lot on how busy it is. And it can be akin to a market and require a very long wait. I have blown my SAs a kiss and gone off without being served, but that's cos I have time, the rewards points are def handy. For those who prefer a more relaxed shopping experience then Cadogan is comparatively better. Having said that FSH when heaving is possibly the worst.
Actually it's good. They have a lot of things in the dungeons.
That's good to know. I tried in probably 2011 and 2012 to get agenda refills and they didn't have them two years in a row. That, coupled with the crowds (I used to go at 1100 on Saturday) turned me off. Then Cadogan opened up and I never attempted Harrods again.
Although for a major purchase the points would certainly be welcome. This and Selfridges are on the H EU network, correct?
Last week I nosed around and saw a very sparkly Rose Gold Medor watch in the case, but I didnt dare ask the price.
Yes I believe it's all linked up. And yes Harrods has a lot of bling, bling pieces. They have a large customer base who fly in and out so their method of selling Hermes may be different from the London flagship.
