Yesterday I got their sale catalogue. Summer sale. And Michelle was on the second page. Surely, if something's in the sale, the print run timing must be quite tight???? OK, we all loved her, but are they trying to immortilise her?

Felt exactly the same, got the sale catologue yesterday and thought WTF!!!!

The letter the her PA wrote on the homepage would have been so appropriate, and yet they have sent out this!!!!

Also if catalogues were already printed they could have stuck in an insert

ok, just found the other threads... how sad, with her letters you sort of feel that you got to know her, don't you?!

I had the catalogue yesterday, too,and felt it was weird. Maybe it's what Michelle herself wanted, who knows?

I wonder how they are going to tackle the whole thing - will it be referred to in the next catalogue or will someone else take over without it being mentioned?

I've just received another letter from Michelle - Surely by now, they could of said something, or even have the letter from someone else.

the last thing i had from them had an insert from one of the brothers/bosses explaining about Michelle and then there was a letter she'd written to the customers the day before she died, saying how much she'd enjoyed working for lakeland, etc. Got that about a month or so ago.

Yes, I had that letter and explanation, too, Moomin.
