Christmas is coming, the members of the family Anatidae are getting portly, and that poor guy is still out there importuning passers-by to drop a ha'penny in his chapeau.
Meanwhile, you're starting to sweat over the gifts you've got to come up with this Yuletide season. What to get? What to get?
Not to worry, Harrod's Department Store is coming through for you with the perfect gift to treasure - gold! That's right, Harrod's, known as Britain’s most prestigious department store, will be carrying gold bars for you to add to your purchases this festive season. The glittery gift comes in a range of sizes, from just over two pounds to 27.5 pounds. The thoughtful folks at the store will also offer a range of coins, from British sovereigns to South African Krugerrands.
At today’s market prices, 2.2 pounds of Harrods gold will cost you about $35,000, while their 27.5 pound bar will drain your coffers of $429,482. Obviously, this gift is not really going to do much more than serve as a stocking stuffer for those who can afford it, but hey! you gotta' start somewhere with that Christmas shopping!
