To think that only daily mail readers buy clothes from m&s?

I'm sure m&s are paying the mail to promote their rubbish. I presume that marks want to appeal the over 50s/60s right winger with their "look".

What a ridiculous statement, OP. Where do Guardian readers buy their pants?

SilverySurfer · 20/09/2017 13:14

I'm ancient, am a Conservative voter, don't read the DM (Telegraph) and rarely buy anything in M&S although did buy a big, fluffy dressing gown with hood in preparation for the coming winter.

It's probably too luxurious for you, I'm sure you prefer the corbynista sack cloth and ashes look Grin

I'm 55 and wouldn't touch Daily Mail with a barge pole.

However, I buy many of my clothes in M&S. Partly because I live in a small town and this is one of the only shops available to me

Sainsbury's

JaneJeffer · 20/09/2017 13:36

Isn't it funny how the Mail can keep going even though no one reads it Grin

ilovesooty · 20/09/2017 13:39

I wonder about the the thought process of someone who posts a thread like this.

LurkingHusband · 20/09/2017 13:40

I know that M&S are high on the list of companies that are considered to be funding hate by advertising in the Daily Mail (which is a hate filled rag)

paxillin · 20/09/2017 13:41

MerryMarigold Grin Grin Perhaps we need a guide matching newspapers or politics with pants. What WILL the neighbours think seeing M&S pants on the line if they ought to be F&Fs.

Creambun2 · 20/09/2017 13:46

Suspect this self confessed telegraph readers buy their knickers at rigby and peller

Guardian = Cos.

Shout out to Joy for stopping ads appearing on DM Online.

But how very dare you claim M and S for the Daily Hell.

paxillin · 20/09/2017 13:51

Indepentent, Times, Sun, Daily Mirror... and of course Economist, Spectator etc. One must buy the correct pants.

PerfumeIsAMessage · 20/09/2017 13:58

Well, the OP must read the Mail or how would she know.
At least those of us confessing to buying from M &S don't seem to have as much trouble stringing a coherent sentence together as the OP.
Given the goadyfuck nature together with the appalling English I'm tempted to wonder if the OP is a "well known and loved MNer" of yore...Wink who was well known for being spiteful about other people's clothes but I wouldn't have had her down as ageist to boot tbf.

Paxillin, F & F is TESCO! Sains is TU and much higher quality.

I think your idea for an article is going to pop up somewhere soon (I'm not a journo, but I bet they are out looking for ideas).

Hmmmm...we could extend it to all sorts of publications

What about Time magazine?
Readers Digest?
The Sun?

Who wears Primark pants?

paxillin · 20/09/2017 15:04

Oh dear, I fell at the first hurdle!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 20/09/2017 15:10

myjuice don't be silly, everyone knows Guardian readers knit their clothes from lentils. I read the Times, Guardian and occasionally Shock the DM. As you can imagine my sartorial choices are rather complex.

paxillin · 20/09/2017 15:12

You could match your pants to the newspaper of the day, Judashascomeintosomemoney.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 20/09/2017 16:01

Grin good idea though I'll have to lay off reading Socialist Worker for a bit as I'm not sure where you buy Revolutionary Pants Grin

ponderingprobably · 20/09/2017 16:15

Definitely Damart for 'revolutionary pants'. They need to withstand the cold!

ErrolTheDragon · 20/09/2017 16:16

My 18yo DD lives in M&S jeans and has bought a jacket and quite a few of their shirts recently.

I'm pretty sure she's never read the DM, her politics are afaik broadly liberal - but admittedly she is something of a poster child for Generation Sensible when shes not being daft as a brush.

YABVVU, OP.

paxillin · 20/09/2017 16:16

You import them from Cuba of course.

MerryMarigold · 20/09/2017 16:48

Surely Socialist pants are dh's from the day before (ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww)

paxillin · 20/09/2017 17:18

Perhaps socialists need no pants at all. Bit like hippies, but washed (cold water obvs).

BMW6 · 20/09/2017 17:27

Christ OP you sound like an absolute tool.
