To think I've replaced religion with John Lewis?

[PermanentTemporary]

Feeling part of something larger than myself
Admiring the things of beauty
Detecting the influence of St Terence Conran (RIP)
Receiving regular rewards
Going up to the counter to receive

Intoning the holy words - 'Never knowingly undersold'

I've said for a long time John Lewis is my spiritual home....

:D

I used to love the calm and order in John Lewis! Saved me for a while 😂

If there is a heaven, it is Ikea.

OMJL, I can't agree - IKEA is quite literally purgatory!

Are you kidding? There's no way out of IKEA! It gives a lot of people panic attacks.

I agree with you, OP. Lovely clothes, lovely furniture, lovely perfume and make-up departments, everything is calm.

Brilliant! Love this OP

Haha I love this. I absolutely adore John Lewis. Their stores are so inviting, staff are friendly, always keen to help & knowledgeable (in my experience). When I bought my home with DH, I would say 90% of our furniture, appliances and white goods came from John Lewis and we’ve had minimal issues and when we did have an issue - it was dealt with appropriately.

Very fortunate I live in a town where there still is a John Lewis store, (and Waitrose) which is handy as I rather do C&C for next delivery pickup than support Amazon.

The true retreat is Homesense. That place is better than a therapy session.
