DENIED.

What will by fucking arthritic hips do now?!

I won't forget this, Marksies! you're on my list. Angry

pigsinmud · 09/01/2014 17:17

I'm slightly relieved it's not coming!

HahaHarrie · 09/01/2014 17:20

Such a shame. I was hoping it would be the new MNer identifier (like the MN scarf or buying penguins). I wanted to walk into my friend's house and know they were on MN just by their choice of fugly furniture.

shallowkitty · 09/01/2014 17:24

Denied but was fun while it lasted :)

You know what to do people ....

And get writing your protest songs. The TV pricing error was honoured with just 30-something signatures on the petition and one decent song :o

Lizaa · 09/01/2014 17:28

OhTheDrama living up to your name? Grin

OhTheDrama · 09/01/2014 17:35

Of course buzzard !

SpocksThirdEar · 09/01/2014 17:37

Sad I will never get my fugly chair. DH doesn't seem at all bothered, the unfeeling bastard. Angry

Bearfrills · 09/01/2014 17:37

They could have at least kept the 50p and sent me a goodwill bag of Percy Pigs

ziggiestardust · 09/01/2014 17:41

Signed the petition... Just because I feel like being obstinate. So there. I want my fucking chair.

OhTheDrama · 09/01/2014 17:42

Bearfrills yes of course I would like compensated with Percy pigs or a gift voucher to make up for the heartache you all understand!

ButICantaloupe · 09/01/2014 17:42

I am LIVID that my luxurious chair isn't being delivered! Angry

Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

JakeBullet · 09/01/2014 17:43

Fun while it lasted but a "recliner decliner" email here too Grin .

Might email them and say thank you for the laughter this has generated,

LittleThorinOakenshield · 09/01/2014 17:47

The petition is heating up! I just signed.

I want a voucher this has been most traumatic for me.

mileysorearse · 09/01/2014 17:48

There was an ad for M&S on that petition when I clicked

ziggiestardust · 09/01/2014 17:49

I was going to get my hair done this weekend but seeing as I've splashed out £1 on these fucking chairs and not been refunded, I won't be able to afford that anymore. Thanks M&S, now I'll have shit hair as well as sore legs from standing up all the time AngryAngryAngry

justmuddlingalong · 09/01/2014 18:00

Does the 'print this page' icon under the last post on the page look like a recliner chair to anyone else? Sad

BEEwitched · 09/01/2014 18:05

I took a nap and woke to an email from DH telling me his colleague was denied and a recliner decliner. I am mighty cross. That nap would've been a hell of a lot better on that fugly armchair...

JakeBullet · 09/01/2014 18:09

Oh you lot are on fire, all this talk of sore legs etc.

Long may M&S reign I say. This has been fabulous fun.

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 09/01/2014 18:12
