My dh will only buy the freshly squeezed orange juice from Marks and Spencers.

I buy all our fruit and veg from Marks and Spencers, supermarket fruit and veg is never as nice.

We quite often have Marks and Spencer sandwiches for lunch.

I'm beginning to think we should buy shares in M&S the amount of time and money we spend in there.

Suzy - Fortnums Hamper on its way. In a wicker basket of course.

Round of applause for the ponces, thread should have read, I'm uber "insert class of choice" and let's see how posh we all are. ps everyone and the mostly aspiring to be above their percieved station. I too have way too many poncy tendencies to mention but am far to poncy to mention them on this thread.

Nothing poncy to say about myself at the moment but one of the girls I work with won't drink Earl Grey.........she will only drink Lady Grey!!!

Bosscat, all French hypermarkets stock it. I do French shop every couple of months but do live less than 10 mins from Eurotunnel terminal. I like to use other cheeses - jaarlsberg is good but my favourite is roquefort. Excellent veggie alternative. We've had ours for years and I still love it.

So what are you saying swedishmum you live in Folkestone?

I live v. near Channel exits and shop in France quite a lot as a consequence.

sunnywong · 26/01/2007 02:31

would either of you care to indugle me in some Grocery Porn and share your shopping lists?

arfishy · 26/01/2007 07:39

What sort of porn are you after SW? Waitrose & M&S porn, or Harrods, Selfridges & Duchy of Cornwall?

Bosscat - I LOOOOOVVVEEE raclette! Unfortunately, my raclette maker uses the sliced stuff from Waitrose. Yours is far posher!

nailpolish · 26/01/2007 08:30

we have breakfast crockery and cutlery, and seperate crockery and cutlery for lunch and supper

This thread is fascinating to a foreigner!

Because a lot of the things considered 'poncey' here are quite regular in other places.

And other things some foreigners may not even notice.

expatinscotland · 26/01/2007 09:25

The lunch/dinner thing. I thought this was a cultural difference, not a ponce/class thingy.

Ditto supper/dinner/tea. US southerners will often say 'supper' for the evening meal. But in other regions, it's dinner.

Yet some Brits will use dinner for lunch.

It's all so confusing!

sunnywong · 26/01/2007 09:26

you appear to be the number of the beast, expat

FatFikAndFugly · 26/01/2007 09:29

Oh I have another 'claim to ponce' I have a personal trainier.. anti ponce fact is I won't be able to say that after today

expatinscotland · 26/01/2007 09:29

We need a devil icon in here.

jampot · 26/01/2007 09:34

i too have a personal trainer

ItsMeMellowma · 26/01/2007 09:35

M&S Food Halls seem to be opening all over in Edinburgh, I predict that by the year 2010, M&S Food shall be deemed as "common"!!

franca70 · 26/01/2007 09:36

I have to agree with expat 9.22 post

sunnywong · 26/01/2007 09:36

that was because you were post 666, nothing personal

jampot · 26/01/2007 09:37

i was shocked to see an M&S Food hall in Naas in Ireland - no offence to Naas residents

expatinscotland · 26/01/2007 09:39

I still think we need a little devil icon in here .

tirnanog · 26/01/2007 09:40

Naas is a very up and coming town
