Pineneedles - have you been on MN long/before?
The reason that comment made me smile, and why I c+p it on to a thread here is that Per Una regularly/routinely gets slagged off on MN.
A fashion line that was launched by M&S to appeal to younger women has been very successful in attracting a much older consumer.
I just thought it was very funny that a (presumably older) shopper was confirming that very stereotype.
It was not intended to be an ageist remark and, if you've been on here for any length of time you will have seen me on more threads than I care to mention trying to put a stop to ageist comments on Mumsnet. Posts along the lines of "I'm 22, am I too old to wear a ___".
I am also, for your information, nearly 52, so no spring chicken.
And, in case you were thinking it, I'm not slagging off Gransnet or its posters. Indeed, I have been on there from the very beginning helping to get it going by posting and responding to other posters.
Mumsnet is something I enjoy and it has become quite embarrassingly dear to me, so I hope very much that Gransnet is as successful as its parent site, which is why I have not only been posting on it, but have also been tweeting and re-tweeting about it.
I have not been slagging anyone off, and I'm sorry if you thought I was.
And 
and thank you to all of you who rushed to my defence!
