About A Curious Incident In Harrods

October 1, 2009

Al Fayed Customers at Harrods yesterday were astonished to notice that the wax figure of the department store’s owner, Mohamed Al Fayed, that is proudly exhibited in the men’s section on the ground floor, suddenly lost part of its attire in the most dramatic of circumstances. To be more precise, the trousers on the wax figure suddenly went down, revealing a pair of masculine, shapely legs. Our photographer on the scene quickly made several snaps before the store’s security surrounded the area and barred all people from it.

Two points arise from the incident. First, was it really a good idea to install a wax figure of the Harrods’ owner in the store? It was a bit a spooky to see the life-like figure of Mr Al Fayed, standing tall in the men’s department. And, secondly, who made the suit for the wax figure and could it be that customers who buy them in Harrods might find themselves in a similar situation?

As our handy man, Sam, who calls himself ‘head of security’ at Stirring Trouble said, commenting on the incident, ’shit sometimes happens’. And his is probabaly right. It does happen once in a while.

    Now are you sure you didnt do the pulling down? Was it definately an accident?

    When going into Harrods i always think this a bit bizzare that a waxwork of the store owner is there in the store.

    Just imagine if that was obligatory – for example go into Sainsburys and get a life size Justin Rose! Where would it stop, your local Spar with a life size owner waxwork…

    Thanks for the post this put a smile on my face this afternoon.
