'Don?t be alarmed, but this mac undergoes a subtle mood shift when you detach its hood'

That line had me choking on me cocoa last night.
As did hideous applique skirts.

Every time I try to order anything in green from Boden, it's out of stock.

Mumsnet used to like Johnnie....and then the tide turned. Poor Johnnie.

Personally, I've never had any trouble with my boden deliverys, I do think they are charging to much, and I can get more for my money else were, and thier quality is not always brilliant. Are you listening Johnnie?

I want the black denim shirt dress but there is an 8-week wait.
Is too expensive anyway. And the buttons will probably fall off, like they did off my rainy day mac.

I knew you would say that but they are definitely not urban chic and I don't live in the country

the biker jacket looks like a copy of a Barbour jacket to me. I'm surprised its so popular though - clearly misunderstanding the Boden demographic.
