The Times reports that the Knightsbridge department store yesterday began selling bars of pure Swiss gold bullion as part of a range that is being displayed in a miniature vault on the lower ground floor.

If it piques your interest, you might want to back up the Rangey to the door as it’s heavier than Posh on a night out. A solid bar will cost nearly £300,000 and weighs nearly two stone.

As usual you will be paying the Horrids premium – at yesterday’s prices in New York, a full-sized gold bar would cost about $466,000 (about £286,000).
