TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA-
Mr Rumbold's department seems to have moved again in the store. Whereas in the previous season it was mentioned several times that Ladies and Gentlemen's Apparel could be found on the first floor (second floor in American terms), it is now on the fourth floor (fifth in America). Of course, this lapse in consistency may be the result of a plot line. If they were on the first floor, a broken lift wouldn't be much of a problem.
-
In this episode we learn that Mrs Slocombe is sales assistant 193 and Mr Humphries sales assistant 4711. (The latter is an obvious reference to the famous Eau de Cologne brand.)
