Although, it's entirely something Prince Philip would do.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

If I only had a brain...
This is why celebrities have Staff, to say "Dude, WTF?" Apparently William ignored his.
That comedian's review seemed to me to boil down to "Dude, who HASN'T worn a Nazi uniform at least once?" To which I can answer, me. Eccentrica Gallumbits, Triple-Breasted Whore of Eroticon Six, yes. Rommel, no.
I suppose William would have gotten in trouble for Eccentrica, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Harry. William was a lion.

Oops. Lions are unobjectionable. Except possibly to PETA.

I'm eating American-style cookies from Sainsburys.
Maybe they are American-style because the English find the word "cookie" funny? Suddenly can't remember having eaten a single cookie/biscuit while in England. I think Jaffa cakes don't count, right? I did have those.
You have no idea how distressing I found Marks & Sparks in England. You walk in, there are clothes to buy (and NSM useful clothes, more like The Limited). And then, upstairs -- groceries! WTF?

Oddly, that was my reaction to Target, perhaps even moreso because the clothes and the food are on the same floor.
Also -- M&S has great underwear. I could do with a Marks and Sparks style bra fitting around now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I remember that one of the big old department stores in NYC (Gimbels, maybe) used to be like that. I thought it was neat.

Is it the idea of the food being upstairs that's weird? I'm trying to remember where the other department stores put their food.

Harvey Nichols London kept it on the top floor. I'd never really thought of it before. I wonder if the other M&S followed similar layouts?
