They speak (or someone speaks) Catalan in the Edinburgh branch of Harvey Nichols, according to The Scotsman.

This according to the navel-obsessed Voluntary Agency Network of Korea (VANK), which borrows its GUI icons from Apple and features Mrs Valerie Fane, “a retired Grand-mother from England”, who tells us: “I didn’t know much before I met my son-in-law.”)
