It does look a bit grubby on the photo doesn't it?

Like is been lost in a warehouse since 1972.

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 08/01/2014 22:56

Really need to go to bed now if i had that recliner i could sleep in the lounge

HoneyDragon · 08/01/2014 22:56

Well tell him to get back in the warehouse and get shifting chairs Gin!

GideonKipper · 08/01/2014 22:57

the page has now been taken down... no surprise there then

Slatecross · 08/01/2014 22:58

telly cock up

LittleMissGerardButlersMinion · 08/01/2014 22:58

The thing is, even if they honor them all, it'll still be a lot cheaper than advertising, and is a great pr stunt! Think of all the good publicity!

I don't think they will though.

OhTheDrama · 08/01/2014 22:59

Oh dear god I'm alternating between shrieking and snorting now! The neighbours will think Peppa Pig is living next door.

FetchezLaVache · 08/01/2014 22:59

Damn it, it's been taken down! What's the name of this chair? I am consumed with nosiness at the ugliness of this chair and given some of the M&S threads on Style & Beauty, my expectations are high...

babacoon · 08/01/2014 22:59

Why can't I see it?:(

Who has actually had the declining email?

Maybe it was declined because it was, by then, out of stock?

Maybe all of us lucky, lucky buyers will be taking delivery after all?

oh fuck

GideonKipper · 08/01/2014 23:01

There are pictures galore only a few posts back!

No, the link up thread just says this product isn't available.

I'll have to wait until they are delivered and people can post photos. There will have to have a thread of fugliness!

FyreFly · 08/01/2014 23:01

Mine says despatching soon and (in bold orange underneath): Please note this order cannot now be amended.

If I actually get one, I shall fall over in shock, and then wonder where to put the bloody thing.

scripsi · 08/01/2014 23:02

Love the mr bean photo. Well, I haven't had an email declining the sale and it looks like it has gone through on my account (and had a confirmation email) so I can go to bed imagining the new chair. I suspect my dreams will be dashed in the morning ...

ButICantaloupe · 08/01/2014 23:02

What do we want?

Our hideous chair!

When do we want it?

Now!

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 23:02

DH is not only not finding it funny, he is positively berating me because 'how are you going to get it to the charity shop'
'Something else to clutter the bloody house'

He is a miserable sod...

DowntonTrout · 08/01/2014 23:02

excusetypos there are pics on the previous two pages to this.

elesbells · 08/01/2014 23:03

gideon I've had a confirmation email....but no recliner decliner

Hopefully they'll honour it..it's been well worth the laugh for 50p

thenicknameiwantedisgone · 08/01/2014 23:03

Mine also says dispatching soon...

I can see it, Christ that is horribleGrin

Still wish I'd got one though! I expect they will be quite comfy.

HoneyDragon · 08/01/2014 23:04

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 08/01/2014 23:04
