Including on Remembrance Day, a.k.a. British Veterans Day.
Their pathetic, incredible explanation: The store has stood by their dress policy, saying: There is a long-standing tradition at Harrods that would normally preclude customers who are wearing non-civilian attire from entering the store. A lot of people assume that somebody in uniform is either there on official duty, which could cause them alarm, or they assume theyre a member of staff and ask them where the lavatories are and so on.

I believe that Harrod's is owned by the Egyptian Muslim who's son was killed with princess D. in Paris.

I am barring Harrod's. Wish I'd never shopped there. Doesn't Dodi's daddy own it?

I suppose if Prince Harry waltzed in with his uniform on they'd kick him out, too?

Well, Britain let the Arabs buy it -- now they have to live with the Cult of Death amongst them.

lol pretty feeble explanation. I've been to Harrod's and would never mistake their staff for a member of the military.

Word needs to be discretely passed on the London street that Harrods is ripe for looting because no uniforms are allowed therein. Police, after all, look too much like soldiers and someone might get the wrong idea as to who was whom.

WTH? Are they crazy?

Wonder what would happen if a Bobby sauntered in. Would he be asked to leave??
