50p This has been the best thread for ages. It won't be as funny when I relay it to Dp though, will it?

CinnamonPorridge · 08/01/2014 22:05

I hope they Daily Fail will write about it.

Then M&S gets some free advertising and the poor sod who is responsible for this typo won't get fired.

Just got my order confirmation for 5 and I saved a total of £2.50 on my order

HectorVector · 08/01/2014 22:04

This chair is so ugly I hope M&S honour your orders just so I can laugh at you with your ugly chairs. You'll all have to post pictures of yourselves reclining whilst MNing!

TimeToPassGo · 08/01/2014 22:04

I actually want my chair. I really do. Not sure what that says about me but there you are. So please M&S give me my chair!

Start spreading the news
I'm weeping today
I want to recline in it
Richmond, Richmond

These vagabond shoes
They are longing to sway
Up through the air and onto it
Richmond, Richmond....

Was it called Richmond or am I making that up?

I have ordered 2.

I promised DP a new suite this year. If I recover them and the sofas and make them matchy matchy it counts right?

98x100x95cm. It wouldn't have three dimensions for a swatch would it? Or be that big? Swatches are normally about 10x10cm.

I'm worried I've got everyone ordering pointless fabric swatches. Oh sod it, it's only 50p Grin.

Tis gone from website anyway. They'd better send me my order!

chocoholicanon · 08/01/2014 22:03

M and S better honour my order I have great plans for my new chair, think I may shift the remaining money in my bank account into another account for a few days incase they try and take £500 payment off my card [worried]

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 08/01/2014 22:03

Oops took me so long to write my post that it's all gone poof in the meantime!

LittleMissGerardButlersMinion · 08/01/2014 22:02

I am strangely disappointed that I won't get one!

JakeBullet · 08/01/2014 22:02

Someone shoukd send M&S a link to this thread so they can see the funny side and not fire the poor soul who made the error.

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 22:02

Fucking hell Gin... I cant breathe! Grin

No other email as yet.

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 08/01/2014 22:01

Not a swatch, the details for the chair says swatches are free

mousebacon · 08/01/2014 22:00

Thanks Aint Grin

You only want £450 for it, eh? Wink

Fairenuff · 08/01/2014 22:00

Can't wait to see what they do about it. Someone's got some 'splaining to do Blush

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 22:00

I WANT MY FUGLY CHAIR! Maybe if we all chant loudly enough...

JakeBullet · 08/01/2014 22:00

Gotta love M&S for this fun Grin

CinnamonPorridge · 08/01/2014 22:00

SantanaLopez · 08/01/2014 22:00
