Edinburgh shoppers have been left in stitches after John Lewis revealed a new piece of homeware – a £242 table lamp called Jobby the cat.
A viral post on social media suggested the department store hire one or two Scottish people in their branding team, reports the Daily Record. One Edinburgh resident said it was a ‘fair price’ for Jobby.
Posting on X, John Kilbride said: “If there’s any Scottish people looking for a job in branding or marketing, I think there’s a vacancy at John Lewis because there’s clearly no Scottish person working there at the moment.”
