FROM NOW on, I am refined.
Through no fault of my own, the make-up I have used for over 15 years is now only sold at one store in the UK. And that's Harrods.
Sounds mighty impressive I know, but that's the way it is. Obviously, I don't hoof it down to the big city on a regular basis so I choose to get it delivered for a modest charge that's cheaper (and probably more reliable) than a Virgin train ticket.
I'm not entirely sure why Chester's Debenhams store decided to pull the plug on the cosmetic franchise in question ... Perhaps there were too many pale and pasty-faced women on the streets up north. Perhaps the Geisha girl look is a thing of the past. Perhaps I should've taken the hint that as it's not available up here any more, I should find something else that more suits my ageing skin!
So, trawling through the Knightsbridge store's glitzy website, I came across my product. Probably the cheapest thing on there, alongside a Kurt Geiger shoelace and an Elle Macpherson Coranto thong, but at least I can still get my hands on it.
After filling my online basket with online products, I was sent along ... online of course .... to the online checkout. It asked me for my title, for which the usual choice is 'Mr, Mrs, Miss or Ms'.
Oh no, no, no ..... on THIS website, you get to be anything you want!! Now, just for laughs, should I be a Professor ... or a Baroness ..... or even HRH??!?! The list is endless.
I cast aside the Countess, Duchess and even Dame titles, as I did the Princess one. "Princess Pugh" I put in an air bubble to myself .... Na, sounds a bit naff.
I settled with one that I thought suited me down to the ground so as we speak, there is a little parcel of website goodies making it's weary way up north to Lady Amanda Jane Pugh.
I'm sure my refined status won't last but it should give our postman a good laugh!
