To think that Marks and Spencer Food is just so much nicer than any other.........

[superwitch]

especially the Deli Coleslaw yum yum

It's teenage to think glasses are sexy??!

I hated them as a teenager - have only come to appreciate them as a Man!

I love M&S too. We (me and my mum and maybe my DSs) think its a day out to go to the very big one 15 miles down the road from us - how sad is that!

They have a fab coffee shop too so we even have lunch there too.

The cakes are lovely - they just taste less manufactured and more homemade than any of the other supermarkets.

I like that all their tea and coffee is Fair Trade.

It just seems better quality although you do pay for the privelage. I try not go in more than once every couple of months and then keep very quiet about how much it all cost.

the bank I work in is next door to an M&S with a huge food hall.

I am still a size 18, a year after having DD.

I somehow suspect these two facts are not entirely uncorrelated.

UDad - not only do you like 40 somethings but you like specs wearers (mine are just like those too). Music to my ears!

I think it's a Gillian Anderson thing. That woman is sex in spex.

UD, thanks for enlightening me as to what "crisp glasses" are (with illustrations, to boot) That first pair are like mine, and I'm almost 40, and I shop in M&S...though, sadly, I am never to be seen in anything bearing pinstripes.

Pruners, I hated my glasses when I was a teenager (mind you, I did have NHS ones). In fact I missed a lot of buses because I was too vain to put them on. But now I do think glasses are sexy...yet I mostly wear contact lenses. People always tell me I look clever with my glasses on (presumably I look like a halfwit without them).

But glasses these days - new one, anyway - are made to look so much more stylish and sexy. Remember those horrible big plastic monsters people wore in the 80s? Even 90s Hugh Grant/4 Weddings style look horribly dated now.

I had some huge black and white ones when I went to University - you could barely see my face; it was all glasses. One term and I discovered the "boys don't make passes..." saying was true. Got a Christmas job, saved up for contact lenses, never looked back

I was getting back into X-Files on ftn on freeview when the plug got pulled! I now have to resort to naughty copyright-infringing websites!

Scully's gorgeous. I used to like Mulder but I've decided he has an oddly-shaped face. Keep meaning to watch that sex thing on Channel 5 - Californication?

We had some X-Files videos but I gave them to the charrideee shop.

YABU - it is no better than Waitrose!

I buy my grocerys at local shops, butcher's bakers greengrocers, family run grocers etc. I find they always have the best stuff. Even better than M&S

Nooooooooooo! I'm now sitting here (in Sydney) CRAVING M&S food which of course I can't get - and knowing that because it's the middle of the night for you guys I won't even get any sympathy replies

You don't really get ready meals here and although I quite like cooking and the fresh ingredients are fab, it was so nice to be able to pick up something from their cafe range and have a yummy dinner at home with zero effort. When they opened a food only outlet at Brighton station (which DH passed on his way home every night) my cup runneth over...........

If I ever want a ready meal, I'll go to m&s. They don't have that ick aftertaste that all the others seem to.

I love M&S but Waitrose as well. M&S Chinese Takeaway Crispy Chilli Beef and Singapore Noodles are definitely the best.

they never have that god damn chocolate pudding

uh oh unquiet - my mother in law thinks I'm the spitting image of Gillian Anderson....but luckily I'm not a 40 something yet so Mrs Unquiet needn't worry!

Raided M&S today and bought loads of fab Cook range stuff - I love it! Lazy decent food.
