a store instead of Bloomingdales?

[dragonyphoenix]

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.

Hmm, perhaps I need to take a trip to London ... for research purposes of course! Thanks.

It's what we recommend. We Brits are always ready to advise, but the real experience is best.

Right, I'm on my way. ;-)

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. ;-)
