I POOR OLD HARVEY Nichols. Having invested millions on its first Scottish store in Edinburgh, it transpired last month that most of its sought-after account- card holders have G- postcodes.

There again, could it be that Glasgow shoppers are more accustomed to the premium interest charged by such account cards? Only time will tell.
