Perhaps marks and spencer and next would make money if..

They stocked fecking SHORTS in July? Not winter knitwear.
I know but seriously ? Desperate for shorts. Local small town. Next has one denim pair in a size 8 only.

Oh I saw loads of short somewhere the other day...was it New Look? It was somewhere like that, tons of the things.

I am desperate for winter knitwear, conversely

Ah. I didn't have time to whizz there

Loads in asda today too if that helps....

Yep I saw them in asda today too.

No asda within 30 miles

You totally have a point. I would like to buy winter clothes a bit nearer winter. It Is fricking July.

Tried to buy DS1 some shorts yesterday. Could not be found for love nor money. Finally found a very small selection in H&M. Honestly, they were next to winter trousers and jumpers. FGS it is July. Why do shops sell stuff out of season? Seriously why?

Lots of shorts in H&M.

Next would make money if they actually sold anything that wasn't bright pink polyester imho.

M&S would make money if they stuck to decent basics in nice fabrics and stopped trying to be (allegedly) 'cutting edge' or 'fashion focused' but getting it horribly, embarrassingly wrong.

M&S definitely needs to go back to selling good quality basics. There 'fashion' stuff is hideous.
