Good luck or good taste?

[PhilW]

In the UK we have a chain of furniture stores called MFI. Best known to us Brits for their kitchens (and, joking aside, they're not bad either). As is common with these sorts of stores, they often have books on the display model bookshelves, along with plastic fruit in bowls and that sort of thing. I never really look at what is on the shelves, since I assume that it is chosen more or less at random - "I'd like about a foot and a half of books please to fill this space". However...last week, on one bookshelf were the following four books:

Crime & Punishment
The Jungle Book
The Red Shoes
Wuthering Heights

So maybe in at least one branch of MFI there is at least one person with some good literary taste!

And that one person probably feels like the Lone Ranger...

Perhaps it's all part of the same devious plan that has seen the newest MFI TV adverts explaining that the company has changed and become sophisticated?

That would be a reinvention along the lines of Skoda making desirable cars – and as easy to believe.

This makes a lot of sense, from a marketing standpoint I would be willing to bet they are using that shelf in an attempt to look more astute.
