Holly Nichols? Oh give me strength

Speaking of shops, Harvey nichols has changed its name to Holly nichols for a month to celebrate — take a deep breath — female empowerment.

The department store chain has launched a campaign called Let’s Hear It For The girls. Honestly, as a woman, I am so sick of being patronised like this!

do they think we are all stupid? Easily humoured? Thrilled to be noticed at all? If Harvey nichols really wants to empower women, why doesn’t it give us 20 per cent off Clarins and a free cashmere scarf with every purchase?

Then we might start listening, Holly — or whatever you call yourself.
