a store instead of Bloomingdales?

A question for my British friends. Giles' PoV describing a woman. She's a secretary but she buys upscale clothes. I'm thinking Bloomingdale's discount rack. But I don't know if a British guy would know Bloomies.

There's always a warm welcome and a bed here, though it's a dull little town* in the Midlands, not London. ;-)


*We do have quite a pretty castle, though - see icon.

Oooh, castle cool. The only castle we have is the Smithsonian building and I'm not sure that counts.

Ours is a very pretty pink castle, started around 850 years ago. Some of it is more modern, though - the bit John of Gaunt built in the 1370s and the bit Robert Dudley built to show off to Queen Elizabeth in the 1570s. Since then, not a lot apart from Cromwell's pals blowing bits up.

We do history big time in Warwickshire. ;-)
