I doubt they put that picture their on purpose. It wouldn’t make any sense.

YetAnotherNC2017 · 02/12/2017 22:57

There! Ffs.

Barbiesears · 02/12/2017 22:57

They've got me right. I'd eat all that!

Justgivemesomepeace · 02/12/2017 23:01

Haha thats tickled me. What bizarre pictures. Can you imagine the marketing meetings? "Well folks the pink dress and tan cullottes didn't go down to well with the ladies. Let's try a dish of spuds and roasted veg. Now for the blokes. How about we get dressed in suits and go canoeing........

PickAChew · 02/12/2017 23:02

I think they know me exactly :o

pigeondujour · 02/12/2017 23:05

I definitely look a lot more like the potatoes than like the model in the top picture.

EmmaHealy23 · 02/12/2017 23:15

I have no idea what to say but it's really made me laugh!

Cardigan clad canoeing for men and some Brussels sprouts for the ladies...maybe they were hungover that day Grin

calzone · 02/12/2017 23:31

Bizarre

I think I would be offended if I was a man too......

just5morepeas · 02/12/2017 23:39

What page were you on? I've just looked and I can't find those images.

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 02/12/2017 23:43

It’s a woman looking all windswept and interesting now.

I think she looks pissed of that the men have gone canoeing and the food is going cold.

Ha, I read get knitted out as 'get knotted' - something you want to tell us M&S? Xmas Grin

LoveDeathPrizes · 03/12/2017 00:48

Wonder if they've got a weird algorithm that selects the most popular image for each gender that visits the site?

DoJo · 03/12/2017 00:55

For the love of God, charge your phone!

Bloke in the top right has done well out of the women's knits section.

ScreamingValenta · 03/12/2017 01:19

The bloke in the boat is lovely Xmas Smile

XmasInTintagel · 03/12/2017 01:22

The woman is rather lovely too...shame she's wearing a rather awful jacket!

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 03/12/2017 10:37

I get stressed by that too.

Rebeccaslicker · 03/12/2017 10:50

Maybe the photos change? Otherwise it is bizarre.

(My phone is on 2% right now, sorry!)

HermionesRightHook · 03/12/2017 10:53

That looks like exactly the kind of thing I'm in the market for!

Creambun2 · 03/12/2017 10:54

Yabu to let your phone run down to 7%

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/12/2017 10:55

I think that's David Gandy? Not exactly the most practical gear for canoeing though, especially in this weather!

But I agree that M&S get women wrong on a daily basis - their clothes are hideous these days and have really gone downhill.

MidLifeCrisis2017 · 03/12/2017 10:56

Their proofreading is terrible. I once emailed them (yes, ridiculous, I just couldn’t help myself) to tell them they had “bowels” listed under kitchen equipment. They didn’t seem too bothered.

Crumbs1 · 03/12/2017 11:01

They certainly have their market and buying wrong. Very wrong.

AnyFucker · 03/12/2017 11:05

Women don't like food ? Confused
