They could open a Soup Kitchen instead??

Just an evening's drinks bill for your average pop or football star! ;) ;)

Are you sorting out your Christmas hamper already, Tim?!?!

Shame its so so very expensive ~it would be nice to see the fortnums horse and cart pull into my driveway!!

No such thing as a free meal - or free delivery either, Tim. For 'Free' read 'delivery price costed in'?

I can't make out the price??

Need their spectacles, too?

Don't look!

Tell me Tim. :)

I want one along with the Aga.Red. :)

Oh I just had a look on their site, I was going to buy a Christmas pudding as I can't make one this year, but £30 put me off a bit , mind you the £1400 wedding cake was very impressiveXX Jeannine

Okay I'm going to stick my neck out here.  I like Fortnums!  The service in that place is impeccable and they sell a wide range of foods, not just things for the super rich.  I'm partial to their cheese counter and here's a little tip.  They also sell mundane things like cream crackers so if you are ever in the smoke pay a visit, buy a few basics and get a carrier bag - they last for years!   ;D

Nevertheless Georgie I'm sure you'd agree that 25 grand for a Xmas hamper is a tad outrageous,,, not that it's not the price of the stuff in the hamper etc  ;D ;D ;D Cor I could get two Agas for that - installed n all. :-\ :-\ ;D

Now there's an ad I'd like to see on the telly -

Mater's gone to Fortnums!

;D

I wouldn't eat most of the stuff in that hamper for a variety of reasons. That said I'm rather partial to Cropwell Bishop Stilton but as my nephew lives minutes away from where it's produced he can get it for me anytime I like.  I'd be willing to give most of the drinks a go though.  :D  It sounds like a lot of money to spend on a hamper but I doubt it's aimed at the likes of me.  Oh and I don't have room for one Aga, let alone two!

£25,000 betula.  How many are you going to order?

Georgie - agree - they have some great stuff - esp the Cheeses.

And the Tea Room is useful on occasion?

Yes indeed.  Far better than a glass of not quite chilled, over-priced white wine served in a plastic (!) wine glass in the forecourt of the RA and a welcome rest before/after spending hours browsing in Hatchards.   ;D
