I think they are deleting comments about this as fast as possible.

A pity because they could run with this and say "hey we messed up but will donate 50 chairs to local charities as a goodwill gesture. We will of course be cancelling all orders at that price as it was clearly an error".

Have told them I will cancel if they wish me to,.....it was good fun but I never expected them to honour it. The law is on their side with this am sure.

I'm feeling a glimmer of hope

Just told dh his reply was
" oh my dad wants a recliner.i'll sell it him for £300 .00"

OhTheDrama · 09/01/2014 16:05

The facebook page is funny! Two separate people now talking about the chairs...

"The aisles of Merry Hill M&S"

^THAT IS WHERE I WILL BE GATEAU PUNCHING!!! Grin

I knew you were a Black Country-er with that username!

On Marks and Spencer facebook page people have had confirmation

RiffyWammal · 09/01/2014 15:57

I really want the two I ordered and I will be gutted if they are cancelled.

Mark my words, innocent cakes will suffer. The aisles of Merry Hill M&S will echo to the sounds of pastry punching and sponge stamping if I don't get me recliners.

Mabelface · 09/01/2014 15:57

I want to see what they look like.

CloserLook · 09/01/2014 15:56

It's gone again already. I think they keep deleting it.

CinnamonPorridge · 09/01/2014 15:56

I just rang the customer service number, but on my brittlest quivering voice and asked after my reclining chair.

Nah, I just rang and enquired what m&s were doing about these 50p chairs as I'd ordered two Grin

The guy was very nice and asked his manager, who apparently said they hadn't decided yet. I only rang because I realised my phone number on their file was ancient. Wanted to give them a chance to contact me with delivery details Wink

CloserLook · 09/01/2014 15:52

The thank you message has just popped up on Facebook again.

HoneyDragon · 09/01/2014 15:48

For those who thought I was joking Grin

Brand new M&S chair for fifty whole English pence.
LittleThorinOakenshield · 09/01/2014 15:47

I wonder how many were ordered?

OhTheDrama · 09/01/2014 15:47

Oh sweet Jesus it looks like they're playing us at our own game and we're going to get it! Just finished work and was fully expecting to find a recliner decliner in my inbox but nope! Oh dear DH will be even less amused than he was last night!

GoofyIsACow · 09/01/2014 15:46

Ha! someone is on high social media alert to delete anything shrpish to avoid major uproar!! Grin

creamteas · 09/01/2014 15:45

goofy, yes, it has gone now, but was definitely there a minute ago. Interesting new twist!

birdbrain21 · 09/01/2014 15:41

honey my poor baby is trying feed stop making me laugh Grin

HavantGuard · 09/01/2014 15:41

Ditto Jake.

GoofyIsACow · 09/01/2014 15:38

Creamteas i think they are deleting all reference to them!

JakeBullet · 09/01/2014 15:38

Aw bless em, if they ask me nicely I will cancel the order. If they decide to honour it then I will as planned donate it.

LittleThorinOakenshield · 09/01/2014 15:35

Oh my days, seriously.

I never for a minute thought I would get this bad boy.

creamteas · 09/01/2014 15:35

There is a message on their facebook page saying thanks for agreeing to deliver the 50p recliner.......

HoneyDragon · 09/01/2014 15:33

My dog eats recliners. Send them here.

Snakey. You ought to read the thread so you can have a stance on Gavin. How you feel about Gavin will sway your decision on the awarding of recliners.

CloserLook · 09/01/2014 15:27

Me too LittleMiss, I can already picture it in the corner of my bedroom with a little table next to it for books and a cup of tea and a huge throw over it. It's not going to happen is it? They're just working out how to let us down gently.

LittleMissGerardButlersMinion · 09/01/2014 15:19

I already have a place in mind for mine, I will be worryingly disappointed if I don't get it!
