As I was simply looking at what appeared to be shoes on a rack, in my size a pair of Belgravia loafers for £90(!), I was told by him to get off the shoes as they were his, only then did I realise that the entire rack were his purchases. Aside from this repulsive chap, the good part was just meeting the staff and seeing what goes on behind the scenes. It didn't look as if too many shoes were being purchased all round, and many pairs were still available when I left after roughly forty five minutes.
It reminds me now - I had a belter of a hangover and probably for the most part was still drunk when I got the train to Northampton from London around 7AM on the Saturday morning. Severely worse for wear I was propped up in an office chair and fed aspirin by the great female staff! Oh youth...
