Harrods Escalator and The Girl with Torn Jeans

 

Preamble

 

This information was gleaned from a TV documentary on Harrods

 

Harrods Escalator

 

Harrods was the first department store

To install escalators in UK

Customers were delighted, ecstatic

To be moved without walking each way

 

At the top were attendants all waiting

To lessen their psychological jolt

Men were provided with brandy

While ladies could sniff smelling salts

 

 

Harrods and The Girl with Torn Jeans

 

A girl went to enter at Harrods

(Which requires it's dress entry code seen)

The doorman he said quite politely

“I'm sorry miss, you can't come in with torn jeans”

 

But sir, these torn jeans that I'm wearing

I bought in your store yesterday

The doorman shook his head most politely

And the girl in disgust walked away
