F. SOME RULES TO FOLLOW HARRODS
4.1.
Harrods, the most famous London department store that first opened in 1834, sells almost anything people can dream of in its 330 departments. It has clothing for both men and women as well as jewellery, accessories, food and things for the house. You can even buy luxury yachts in the store! In the 20th century, it also used to have baby elephants in a separate section of the store which children loved visiting.
4.2.
Throughout the history of Harrods, the store has always had an influence on fashion, style, and culture. It was also the place where the first moving stairs in Great Britain were installed in 1898. They were totally different from the ones we have nowadays. Using them was such a scary experience that some customers refused to go up or down. Specially trained employees helped them stay calm and give the stairs a try.
4.3.
On Monday, 10th September, 2007, the store displayed a beautiful pair of elegant sandals decorated with rubies, sapphires and diamonds, which cost £62,000. Apart from security cameras, a live Egyptian cobra hired from a private owner was used to watch over the sandals. The owners of Harrods knew that people would be afraid to approach the cobra and so the valuable shoes would be safe.
4.4.
In the past, customers were not permitted to enter Harrods if they were not wearing suitable clothing. Nowadays most dress styles are allowed in the store, but if you bring a backpack, you will be asked to wear it on your front. You cannot eat or drink in the store unless it is in one of Harrods’ many cafés and restaurants. Security staff can also refuse to let you in just for safety reasons.

A SPECIAL INVITATION
When John and Frances booked Manchester Town Hall for their wedding ceremony, they weren’t aware that the Queen had plans to visit the city on the day of their marriage. When they found out that the Queen was going to have lunch at the Town Hall on the same day, Frances decided to send her an invitation. Of course, she didn’t really think the Queen would include their wedding in her diary.
But the moment the ceremony was over, a staff member came up to the couple and told them that the Queen had decided to meet them. A few minutes later, the Queen arrived. She congratulated them and asked about their honeymoon plans. The visit was a great surprise for both the couple and their 40 guests.

Inside the church almost every seat was taken by the guests. Newland looked at their smiling faces. He felt worried, although he had often been a best man himself at his friends’ weddings.
For his own wedding Newland had followed his best man’s instructions very carefully. “Have I done everything? Well, I’ve sent flowers to the eight bridesmaids,” he thought.
“Have you got the ring?” whispered his best man.
Newland checked his jacket pocket quickly, as he had seen so many bridegrooms do – and found the little gold ring with the words Newland and May and the date April 22, 1874 written inside.
Now he only needed May to appear at the back of the church. Just then he heard the best man again, “She’s here!”

_ _ _
London Bridge was first built in 1209. It stood for centuries, but then started slowly sinking into the river. That is why, in the 19th century, the British Parliament chose a committee to examine the condition of the bridge. Bridge engineers had many ideas and finally the decision was made to build a new, stone bridge in place of the old one. The stone bridge was good enough for horse carriages, but in the 20th century, when cars and buses crossed it day and night, the bridge started sinking again. So in the 1960s, the Bridge Committee of London agreed to replace the bridge once more. When the decision was made, Archie Galloway, who was employed by the city council, had the idea of selling the old one. He advertised it for sale in the UK and USA. He was sure someone would be interested in buying it.
Robert McCulloch, an American millionaire who owned a lot of land near Lake Havasu in Arizona, saw the advert on TV while on business in London. McCulloch had a dream to change Lake Havasu, which was located in the middle of the desert, into a busy city. To encourage people to come and live there he needed some good advertising. Buying the bridge seemed the perfect solution.
At first, people thought it was a joke. The idea seemed absolutely crazy because, at that time, Lake Havasu didn’t have running water or electricity. There wasn’t even a river nearby, just the lake.
When McCulloch bought the bridge, the English began to take it apart. Fortunately, he didn’t have to pay extra for this and transport to the USA was also included in the price. First, a group of special workers numbered each of the bridge’s stones to show their position. Then, the bridge was taken apart, packed and sent to the port in London. After the bridge arrived in California, trucks carried it to Lake Havasu. Because McCulloch knew that it would be a challenge to transport this valuable cargo from England to the USA, he employed a few experts to manage the whole operation.
Rebuilding the bridge was like putting a puzzle together. Sometimes, if an original stone got damaged, it had to be exchanged for a local one. But rocks in the area were a different colour, so those stones had to be painted. When the bridge was completed, the sand was taken from below it to create a canal and make way for water. This meant London Bridge could stand over a waterway again.
On 10th October 1971 London Bridge in Lake Havasu City opened. The British and US flags flew on both sides.

THE UNEXPECTED COST OF A PARKING TICKET
One day in October 1988, John Barrier parked his truck in the car park in front of a bank. There was a sign there that said: “Free parking for bank customers. Take a ticket, ask the bank clerk to stamp it, and show the stamped ticket to the parking attendant.” 7.1. That is why he was wearing dirty clothes. He took the ticket and went inside the bank. After paying a small sum of money into his account, he asked the bank clerk to stamp his ticket. The clerk took one look at the man’s untidy clothes and refused to do it. 7.2. When Mr Barrier heard that explanation, he asked the clerk to call the manager of the bank, but he was absent that day. John left the bank angry, paid for the parking, got into his truck and drove home. 7.3. . To the clerk’s surprise, it was more than $2 million.
