I've been in London, where I discovered that Harrod's carries something like 60 different kinds of teddy 59ers.

Harrods is the most hilarious kind of decadence. A few points that I remember:

I went there during the heights of the go-go London financial scene, so I imagine that it was more extreme then than now. Still, imploring customers to sign up for their "Timeless Decadence" Christmas party with a deadline of October was special. Also I distinctly remember a large reproduction of Shelly's Ozymandias in some stairwell (there is, I believe, an Egyptian-themed floor.)

And the British like to claim Americans don't understand irony.
