Hi what are you doing here?

Even today, Ratner's gaffe is still famous in the British Retail industry as an example on the value of branding and image over quality. Such gaffes are now sometimes called Doing a Ratner, and Ratner himself has acquired the soubriquet "The Sultan of Bling". Ratner has said in his defence that it was a private function which he did not expect to be reported, and his remarks were not made seriously.
