Hi

When I heard on the radio that John Lewis's profits had gone up in last couple of months I wasnt surprised as I heard the following information..
At the Olympics and Paralympics if you wanted to go into the John Lewis store to watch the sport then you were charged £30 to do so...I thought that was steep and a bit of a cheek to be honest...
Heard it from someone who has a son who lives in London and she was at Paralympics...She also said that the disappointing thing about it was the food on offer in the premises - all fast food as McDonalds was the sponsor, fish n chips and for a tiny bottle of water £1.60, £10 for a small fruit punch...

    Are you sure? This is what Sky Business News said:

    John Lewis confirms charging £2 to view Olympic Park from its main viewing gallery at Westfield Stratford - funds goes to local charities
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I read it was a fiver. If it goes to charity then I'd be happy to pay.

    I'm not surprised their profits are up either I've spent loads in John Lewis recently!

    Hope your hols went well Elaine. :D

    Never be bullied into silence.
    Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
    Accept no ones definition of your life

    Define yourself........
