Will John Lewis list MPs be filling their trolleys in Kings Heath?
A debate in the Commons on Members' Allowances this week conjured up the unlikely image of Westminster's finest jostling in the aisles with the bargain hunters of Kings Heath. Sure enough, the MPs could be shopping locally as they seek out tellies and tumble dryers for their London pads without incurring the wrath of the electorate.
It's good to see our Midlands MPs doing their best to support local business, but perhaps Lynne Jones had her tongue slightly in cheek when she implied the infamous John Lewis list might be replaced by one from International Stock.
The owner of the Kings Heath discount warehouse, John Cullen, though was totally unphased by her remarks.
"We have supplied London apartments and we do a delivery service," he said, claiming his customers already included some of the great and good from far and wide. "We've had MPs, councillors, titled people all purchase things from this warehouse."
It's certainly a new line in advertising for Mr Cullen to consider: "As seen in Hansard."
