Awww SoupDragon, Look at its little face, it looks so unhappy, like it knows it doesn't resemble a fox! :( Grin

clubnail · 13/10/2013 13:06

Doesn't look like any fox I've ever seen!

SalBeautyMoll · 13/10/2013 13:24

Do M&S actually have quality control?

indecisiveandclueless · 13/10/2013 15:15

They have truly lost the plot!

RevoltingPeasant · 13/10/2013 16:23

DH just said "but is it a Halloween costume?" Confused

NewName123 · 13/10/2013 18:20

ooo it's light weight as well??

LoriGrimes · 13/10/2013 18:24

I have a knitted one that I wore last winter. Have also knitted one for the kids.

Mummyoftheyear · 13/10/2013 18:27

I actually let out a small gasp! Nooooo
(and I'm not particularly pro/con anything)!

BelleOfTheBorstal · 13/10/2013 18:32

Got to the link via google. Do you think they perhaps meant polecat?
Definitely not a fox, anyhow.

Sizzlesthedog · 13/10/2013 21:07

Excellent reviews! Grin

Nux · 13/10/2013 21:13

The first review of this on the M&S website is priceless. 'I am hard pressed not to feed it little treats now and then' Grin

M&s have never published a review of mine yet. I always get emails saying they don't meet the standards required because I say the stuff is rubbish and poor quality

I see the way to do it is to give it a good score and a sarcastic review. Off to try this new approach.

Lived in Hungary mid 90s and a fair number of the older women would wear similar but the real deal. They also had matching hats that had a fox tail down the back.

What on earth is M&S thinking?!

Sizzlesthedog · 14/10/2013 07:25

My DM is m&s target shopper. She has a real fox fur from years ago and wouldn't wear it now. I know if I showed her this she would think it was a child's toy, not a scarf! She certainly wouldn't wear it, or would any of her friends.

Have the buyers at m&s met their target audience lately?!

SundaySimmons · 14/10/2013 08:27

Ha ha they published my review!

Come on, everyone must leave a review and get it the most reviewed item they sell!

VivaLeThrustBadger · 14/10/2013 08:28

They've not published my review yet. Hope I wasn't OTT with it and they've realised.

mammadiggingdeep · 14/10/2013 08:52

That is toooooo funny!!!!!!! What the hell are they thinking?! Lol

ElizabethBathory · 14/10/2013 09:34

OMG hilarious reviews Grin I've always though the knitted ones were kind of cute, but that one is just WRONG.

I used to have this t shirt though Blush

HaveAGoodDay · 14/10/2013 14:38

Perfect accessory for the school run.... bork!

PatoBanton · 14/10/2013 16:59

I doubt it Viva if they published mine. Blush

I feel guilty now. I like to think the people authorising the reviews have a sense of humour though...

dexter73 · 14/10/2013 17:00

Why has it gone out of stock????!!!!!

PatoBanton · 14/10/2013 17:02

Maybe they allowed mine because I have written so many genuine ones...? I am clearly talking cobblers though.

PatoBanton · 14/10/2013 17:03

Issues with supply chain (roadkill) I imagine

SoupDragon · 14/10/2013 17:06

I saw several possible suppliers on my journeys today. At least one may have been badger though.
