An open lettert o marks and spencer

OK i can save them the money that they need to s pend on recruiting a new CEo now L vand de V has gone.

1. DO not launch a trendy peruna range for teenagers - they arent your customers!here

2. do not do all cap sleeved t shirts fro women ! they have bingo wings ( ahem)

3. do not only do complete outfits for kids

4. donot put silly buttons ont he bottom of trousers here

5. plese do more shorts tan this here

I know I was enraged when I saw that per una kidsrange, PISS OFF this is MY place I do not want to be bothered by fine thin fillies when shopping!
Do not worry about the cap sleeves, they are all gone, I bought them ALL and love them, my juggers look normal sized now ;o
With you on all other points Codders

yes and not obviously " ig ot theis form M and s" t shirts

Plainplainplain

bloody dh refused to allow me to buy one with mickey mouse image on it, I don;t mind that I look like Mrs M+S really... only my shoes are M+S free

Oh you make me scream PMSL coddy !!! I quite like some of that, even though theyve gone off their nut with it. I think theyre trying a bit of the Mango/Zara customer here. Seeing there HUGE SUCCESS over here.

Most of all stop doing that silly gypsy/frilly style for most of the dresses & skirts in Per Una - it looks cheap. (Apols in advance for offence)

And if you are going to charge so much for stuff in Autograph....make it summat special for Gawds sake.

Agree re total kiddies outfits

I like Per Una...

I love Per Una, hence not wanting lithe young fillies prancing round in size 4 , 6 and 8 versions of it!

Oh, ok. You'll be pleased to hear that I am neither particularly young nor anywhere near lithe !

I want more of those Per Una tops- 3/4 sleeves,frilly trim round neck and cuffs and tiny glass beads to decorate the edging- they can be machine washed and tumbled dry and look smart without being ironed. I only have white and red at present- need more colours so the people at work don't think I wear the same top two days in a row!

P.S. I would also like some pants for my 2 year old. Not briefs, PANTS!

nor I nom I aim to be though hhahahahahaaa

Agree with all points Coddy - especially about cap sleeves/no sleeves.

Also where have all the tshirts gone with lycra discreetly installed in them - only 100% cotton - my figure is far too voluptous to have only cotton!!

All their tshirts (she said, generalising, obviously I haven't tried on the whole shop) are too short (ie, reveal midriff) or too long, as in sit on your hips making you look like granny on a cruise.

Ban old biddies at lunch time on escalators - stand on the left grandma, I need my food.

Knickers and bras are still good.

Prefer T-shirts at Gap, they last forever and do not bobble or shrink (have inportant lycra content jampot)

Oliveoil, have Gap got any good ones this season? I mean for normal people, not twigs?

Is the Beckham range still there? My ds point blank refuses to wear anything with Beckham on it - oh no - no lycra/cotton T shirts anymore - that was the main thing I bought from there.

Put Per Una on line, dammit, for those of us who have to organise a shopping trip with Military Precision.

I just bought some M&S shoes (sorry PPH). Very nice with big cork wedge. Honest. Make me feel a bit like Liz Hurley (is that a good thing tho?)

The girls range is too small. Either stick to just school uniform or offer a proper range, and get some decent designers in. There is a choice of 6 dresses only, and all of them are horrible here

Oops bad link - try this

oliveoil - lol re: grandmas

aloha, you can only look lake la Liz if you have unfeasibly large baby as accessory.

agree re: the kids 'complete outfits' coddy, actually most of the toddlers clothes are horrid.

I have NEVER understood why the whole store range hasn't been available on-line. I thought that was the whole point of on-line shopping, to be able to access all the stock range.

Miriam2 - I am currently modelling the 'favourite T' in Large and it covers my 5 month pregnant bump so I would say it would cover any size of figure.

And who are you calling a twig? Eh? Eh????

Agree totally with you there Codswallop, and would also like to add that I hate hate hate all of the boys clothes. I do not want my son dressed in mickey mouse or goden ballsesque clobber .

Sorry should be golden

Have also just realised that I am wearing a granny on a cruise top from M&S .

Bacon/chicken/advacado salad thing is yum but outrageous at 3.99!! I only buy it cos I'm preggars.

They've got the food right if a bit pricey, but the clothes don't do it for me, apart from the undies. I think its the racks and racks of the same thing. Quite like the shoes this summer tho,I was eyeing up those wedges aloha, and now of course I can't cos you've got 'em, or more likely cos my hubbie would murder me if I bought another pair of shoes...

I sort of really want M&S to get it right.
