Calling the middle classes...!

[FinsburyCircus]

If you could only save one, and the other would disappear overnight...

Marks and Spencer or Waitrose/John Lewis?

Same here with the M&S jeans fitting me, they are about the only ones I can ever find. And having today been to a different M&S in another town that I hadn't been to before, my vote would definitely be to keep Marks & Sparks and jettison JL/W.

Laughing at the people saying Booths, it's almost 200 miles to our nearest one, I assume they are in cheaper areas. 😂

I've never bought anything from JL in my life. I'm more of a B & M kind of woman. I do sometimes shop in M & S though. But as I'm not MC I don't think my opinion will count.

They’re all in posh towns, mostly around Lancashire.

Middle class northerners then? Fascinating.
As for the original question I'd have to say M and S because there are 4 closer to me than Waitrose, but I don't think either are particularly special. Andrex bog roll is the same wherever you buy it.

Cannot believe someone would actually post this !!!

I don't think I'm middle class (unless there's a lower middle class 😂) but I shop in Waitrose most days and I haven't bought anything from M&S since lockdown. So I'm saving Waitrose/JL (although the nearest JL is bloody miles away).

Absolutely keep Waitrose/John Lewis. Waitrose most ethical supermarket and I just love it. Simple.

Not quite accurate. You could merrily ‘joke’ about it back in the day because MN consisted entirely of Sloane ranger yummy mummies who had never met a real working class person (other than the staff), let alone thought about where the unwashed riff raff might shop.

I don't think mention of Booths on this thread should be allowed - it's Northern-centric and exclusionary!

Sorry, I'm working class but I shop (carefully) at those places. I'd save M&S because on Mondays they have loads of yellow sticker bargains.

I've never understood the love for John Lewis.

Waitrose/JL for me.
