Are you being served?….. I’m Free!….

Gone are the days of camp shop assistants, naff 60’s double entendre, and the futile hierarchy of a ‘Grace Brothers’-esque department store. Online shopping has spawned a new generation of department store that is quick, slick, with what you are looking for just a click away.
The ‘Mr Humphries’ of the past have been replaced by product searches, and price comparison charts. Shop online at one of our department stores and sniff out some great bargains.
The one-stop-department-shop can also come up with the goods when you are searching for unusual items and have absolutely no idea where you might be able to get them. (ocarinas, sun-blushed onions, antimacassers you know the sort of stuff) Check out a few of our department stores and see what they have in stock. . .




























I never really liked Are You Being Served much… least of all when I worked behind the patisserie counter at the local Waitrose. One quickly develops a ‘Clerks’ mentality…
Anyway, where can I get an ocarina from?

Seeing all those great characters in the Grace Brothers line-up I wish there was the equivalent of being helped by quirky assistants in online shopping…
