Hans von Rostock, 5th Earl of Weselton says
Actually, Dickens got the name Scrooge from the gravestone of Ebenezer Scroggie, a relative of the economist Adam Smith. Scroggie’s gravestone described him as a “meal man”, but Dickens had poor eyesight and read it as “mean man”, and so Scrooge was born.
Hans von Rostock says
Also, yes, it’s still called Harrods.
