maybe they will eventually DO something about us poor expats (and the poor expat Mums and Grannies back home who have to run to the post office to send us our M&S rations) Maybe the power of MN can achieve equality for expats

I emailed them months ago and they said they are working on it.

M&S WORK FASTER!

Me, I think.

Not sure what for aside from FOOD which I doubt they'll sell online, but still, it'd be nice to have the choice!

Yes! I stock up when I'm in the UK but I would prefer to be able to browse and have it sent.

To be honest I think M&S would go down a storm in Aus - so many ex pats but also it's hard to find nice and reasonably priced undies here.

I'll sign up! It was almost tragic when they closed their Brussels branch a few years ago.

Brangelina,
I'm with you on the granary bread; I haven't found it where I live in Germany. In an attempt to have something similar, I make bread in my bread machine using Hovis granary flour imported via britishcornershop.com. It's actually not bad, but not identical to the loaf off the shelf...

And SuperBunny: you're right, Next definitely deliver to Germany, and not just to BFPOs thank goodness!

By the way, I found out that www.expatessentials.com will deliver some M&S food abroad. Sadly only a limited range, and only things which travel well. It's also impressively expensive.
I really miss M&S hot cross buns. The DC love them, and they'e one of the few things they will still eat when they are poorly.
