BigTex,

Correct the Ebony program is closed as such and they were integrated into the Centurion program, all I will say is that not all Centurion accounts in the UK are equal

On the Selfridges comment, it was me that originally posted this. I was working at Selfridges at the time (4yrs ago) and was told this by a colleague. I don't doubt its truth in the slightest. Ebony did exist and I can see both the Duke and the Prince being the sort of people to carry an 'Ebony' card.

As for axel1's bag carrying comment, whats wrong with that? Last year when I was at our HQ working, a helicopter landed in the soccer pitch outside my building, out gets Steve Ballmer and he carried his own bags. Thats right, even though he is worth over $15bn he still carried his own bags

Thanks,
Richard
