Brand new M&S chair for fifty whole English pence.

[GideonKipper]

Just spotted this on the M&S site. It's rather fugly but for fifty pence....

50p armchair

Got to be a mistake? Tempted to buy one and sell it on eBay .

Still no decliner email. I like to think that as a long-time and valued customer they are wrapping my chair and sticking a big bow on it as I type

NO decliner recliner yet.

I want it real bad now.

I'll pm you Ziggy

Goofy if you go in someone's house for the first time and notice a chair with a throw draped artfully over it, you must stealthily lift the throw and have a peep underneath. If the Rose fabric of doom is revealed you'll know you're in the company of a fellow MNer.

I like the wondering over if it will be honoured.

In 10 minutes roughly 10'000 chairs were probably ordered. Somewhere in a dusty forgotten corner of a huge ware house in deepest darkest Castle Donington sit eleven shrink wrapped beige recliners covered in a thin layer of dust dreaming of a happy retirement some day with a nice antimacassar on the opportunity to gather rich tea crumbs.

Poor old Gavin in his high viz vest, his hand held doodah pinging wildly is searching forlornly for ten thousand recliners, and has passed them twice.

It's so sad

I think we should all hold hands and think of poor tired and confused Gavin.

Of course they are Timeto

But, there's also this in their t&c's:

all items are subject to availability. We will inform you as soon as possible if the product(s) or service(s) you have ordered are not available and we may offer alternative product(s) or service(s) of equal or higher quality and value.

A tenuous link to a consolation prize??

Honey

Poor Gavin...., what WERE we thinking when we ordered all these chairs?

@ rose fabric of doom

packets of percy pigs for everyone

Thank you buzzardbird

A speedboat ziggie?

Yes. A free delivery code. That for me is scooping the recliner jackpot - sod the actual chair.

This is great

In my mind that warehouse looks exactly like the warehouse from Raiders Of The Lost Ark ...

Ha ha ha! Rose fabric of doom

goofy

A jet ski perhaps?

honey

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna chuck a throw on you.
Right now, you'd better take a vow
To avoid what they're tryin' to do.

I don't believe that anybody feels they wanna sit on you now.

Poor Gavin :(

To be fair, the chris weren't on sale. Maybe they were actually 50p? They might have wanted to clear out old stock
