While the story acknowledged the newspaper had fallen for the hoax it posed the question of whether Harrods was Britain's Enron -- the U.S. energy giant which went spectacularly bust in 2001 amid revelations it had hidden billions of dollars in debt and had inflated profits to boost its stock price.
Harrods' lawyer James Price said that the Wall Street Journal fell for the joke "hook line and sinker" but added the store was worried about the "The Enron of Britain?" article being archived on the paper's Web site.
