Chaos Unleashed - A Battle for Bargains at Harrods
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the intense scene that unfolded at Harrods on a fateful day in January 1981. As the clock struck 9 am, an overwhelming surge of approximately 400 determined shoppers descended upon the renowned department store, igniting a fierce battle amongst themselves. The coveted prize? Just 40 raffle tickets granting lucky winners access to purchase one of the highly sought-after 26". Dynatron Remote Control Television Sets. In their quest for this incredible deal, desperation took hold and civility was abandoned. The television department became a battlefield as eager customers fought tooth and nail to secure their chance at owning this cutting-edge technology. Amidst the chaos, tragedy struck when one unfortunate lady fell victim to the stampede, sustaining a head injury that left her bloodied and bruised. Remarkably, amidst all this mayhem stood Mr Mackey, Harrods' unyielding sales manager. Though he endured his fair share of rough treatment during this tumultuous ordeal, he emerged physically unscathed. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of how far people are willing to go for an unbeatable bargain. It encapsulates not only the frenzy surrounding January sales but also reflects society's insatiable desire for technological advancements during the vibrant era of the 1980s. Captured by Mike Pattison from Memory Lane Prints, this image transports us back in time to witness firsthand just how
