I'm going this morning to get a percy pig muffin. It better be worth it.

MrsFoxPlus4Again · 15/11/2019 08:08

Iv never tried them 😂😂

You don't need to be an account holder or logged in to flag any M&S reviews as inappropriate. You even get to comment why

Why do the male reviews have way more likes than the female reviews?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 15/11/2019 08:31

The veggie Percy pigs and other veggie jelly sweets make my blood sugar go crazy - it’s usually only cheap and nasty sweets and cakes that do this.

Why do the male reviews have way more likes than the female reviews?

I imagine there are like minded individuals online who are all doing the same thing and following each other. Mutual likes appear among the same names.

Men encouraging other men to carry out, then escalate this sort of behaviour is common.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 15/11/2019 08:36

Or women are liking it so that they come up as ‘top reviews’ and we can see what they mucky pups are up to in the changing rooms...

It's pretty grim, particularly for teen bras. I don't take my DD there anyway, but it's put me off buying my own knickers there.

Akire · 15/11/2019 08:39

Yes there was one pair pants that had 10 reviews. 5 men 5 women.

Total of thumbs up for women’s 17
Total of thumbs up for men 297

Who wants listen to what women think
Of practical item when men can publicly engage in fetish?

nolongersurprised · 15/11/2019 08:44

This thread is so funny.

Adult, human females discussing their concerns about pervy males indulging in their sexual, dressing up in underwear in women’s changing spaces.

And some posts, in constrast: Ooh, I love 💔 Percy pigs, I’m soo addicted, I have to get some now, if I eat any more I’m going to turn into a pig 🐷 lol, lol.

M and S marketing, your tone is wrong. MN isn’t made up of 13 year old girls. Some of us have 13 year old daughters who don’t want to try on bras next to a man tucking his penis into the gusset of underwear you sell.

SirVixofVixHall · 15/11/2019 08:50

Indeed. My daughters are 12 and 14. The eldest had a bra fitting in M&S a year ago. Saddest thing is that the women doing it was lovely. I feel quite disturbed to think she might be being coerced or gaslit into fitting a bra on a man with a fetish and a stiffy.

SirVixofVixHall · 15/11/2019 08:50

Woman, not women.

Ariela · 15/11/2019 09:15

Oh no, Christmas ones!

(can you tell not been to M&S for a while?)
There's one about a mile away, lucky me!

nocluewhattodoo · 15/11/2019 09:47

I used to buy all my knickers from M&S, I certainly won't be anymore, not even online in case I end up with one of these perverted men's returns. I'm already paranoid about using loo roll in public loos after reading about some bloke jizzing on it in the women's and then rolling it back into the dispenser.

I think it would be a great idea to film the changing rooms with a black light, I bet it will be the women's that is most soiled with semen, because these disgusting men wouldn't want to get their rocks off in the men's.

Zeugma · 15/11/2019 10:19

There used to be a (stomach-churning) saying: ‘point Percy at the porcelain’....now it’s ‘point Percy at the M&S women’s changing rooms and go wild with those unsewn gussets.’

Bye, M&S. As an adult human female, my money will be going elsewhere now.

Joisanofthedales · 15/11/2019 11:17

I would prefer to buy food and clothing somewhere else. I would rather not buy knickers stained with semen thank you and I can buy sweet treats anywhere that are as nice as pervy pigs.

Dangerfloof · 15/11/2019 11:33

Because certain retailers don't want women to know this, when the introduce mixed sex or "gender neutral" changing
I think this is annoying me the most. If you believe that this is the right thing to do, if your so damn gung ho on the idea, then take out adverts in papers, magazines, on TV. Tell the world your so woke and how fabulous is that. But no they sneak it in, hope no one will notice. I guess they have plans to pay off any women caught in the crossfire. How else will they keep it quiet? What will they do with the women who wont take money?
I mean telling the world didnt help the old vic I know but at least women then have the heads up and can choose to visit or not.

thecompletenonsequitur · 15/11/2019 11:37

pervy pigs🤣

Exactly. If you're going to do your damnedest to piss off your core demographic, have the fucking courage of your convictions.

Have middle-aged men in your advertising, squeezing their genitalia into women's thongs and their chests into teen bras. You know, the ones you are welcoming, happily calling them cross dressers, and whose massively upvoted reviews you are perfectly comfortable publicising.

And call all your changing rooms, including the bra fitting rooms, mixed sex. Put the signs up. At least warn women and teens what they might encounter.

Ness1234 · 15/11/2019 11:42

Won’t be going to any M and S until they sort this out....

HebeMumsnet · 15/11/2019 11:44

Morning, everyone.

We've just wanted to poke our heads in the door to say that we've had several reports on this and another thread about an M&S product saying that the threads were being derailed and the OPs accused of not posting here genuinely. We want to make clear that we can't see any evidence that the OP here is not genuine.

We'd also be grateful if threads like this one weren't derailed. There are lots of threads already running about the issue of changing rooms at M&S. It seems unfair on other posters to derail threads that aren't about that issue.

Thanks.

nolongersurprised · 15/11/2019 11:46

But, but I’m ADDICTED to pervy pigs and I can’t stop eating them especially the Christmas ones!! And everyone needs to RUN to M AND RIGHT NOW cos they’re in muffins as well. I mean OMG!!!

Not a planted M and S series of posts, not at all. Smile

M and S read the thread. Adult women want sex protected spaces, not sweets. Not even the special Christmas sweets or the muffins.

HumberHellraiser · 15/11/2019 11:48

Ok back to Percy Pigs then.

Yes they are yummy. No I won’t be buying them any more.

MerryDeath · 15/11/2019 11:53

no but i love their sour gummy worms more than any other (i'm a connoisseur), and those guys are vegan Halo

Jojoanna · 15/11/2019 11:54

I’m not over keen on Percy pigs but won’t be buying them from M&S
