wooooohooooo!

Do you think it was our MN campaign that did it?

But wait!

Remember that the Lindt family just left Germany to live in Switzerland?

Look at the list of countries that M&S will deliver to:

Australia, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, Spain and the United States.

Suisse: NON, NEIN, NO



I want to move back to Germany. Or find a friend in France soon

Well, if I go to down the hill at the bottom of the garden, I am in France. Do you think they would deliver to:

MmeLindt
Bottom of the hill
where the boggy river is
near Lake Geneva
where the locals walk their dogs)
France

I think it would get to me.

Composing my letter of complaint at the moment. Shall we do a joint one?

Tis a bit strange, actually. Why have they chosen these countries and not other Eurozone countries. I can understand Switzerland, lots of companies don't deliver here as we do not have Euro.

I don't know why not Belgium, there are loads of expats here.

Loads here in Geneva too. We actually have a tiny M&S in the town, just clothes though, and only for women. I would love to get kids clothes from Markies.

Next deliver to France and Germany now too.

Ah I was nearly excited then!

But then even if they did deliver here, I'd probably not use it because of having to then I'd have to pay the customs charges and admin fees etc.

Can I ask what it is that you miss from M&S? Clothes? Food? Was not raised in UK so feel I am missing something. I like their ready meals, but can't imagine they are shipping them to Aus!

For me, it would be tights. Bizarre I know and of course I can buy tights here but they never seem quite right.

oh god yes tights, and knickers.

I still get a pack of 6 knickers every year from my mother for Christmas, this has been a regular thing for about 30 years!

What about Singapore?????????????????

Arghhhhhhhhhh......................

No luck- they won't deliver to Singapore. I suppose it is because there are some M&S stores here. Trouble is they carry a tiny range, it is very expensive and the sizes are all wrong. They do sell Percy Pigs though .
