Eh? I thought it was very good as it happens, I think they need a complete overhaul, especially with underwear. I am not a peculiar size, so why do none of the bras fit??

Agree about the Coffee Shops......why, oh why does it take them soooooo long to make a cup of coffee. It's the same whichever branch you go to so is something to do with the work flow process rather than the staff?

DanDruff · 24/11/2009 19:19

SO SO SO LONG
i waqnt a black coffee - give it to me now you hooars. i know i balme fat women drinking lattes

AND their eccles cakes are delishus

the Kaiser Sozay? i had that user name for a while iirc

Lapsedrunner · 24/11/2009 19:20

I ....umm,errr......how do I say this.....I like Per Una...there I've said it now!

stressheaderic · 24/11/2009 19:20

A colleague of mine swears by Per Una, and she always looks bloody awful.
I've seen her in a pinafore dress that is cut in all the wrong places with a nasty satin attached shirt underneath, a floaty dishwashing-grey top covered in random cats, and the ubiquitous bright cardi with the 'quirky' buttons...I could design better clothes myself and I'm shite at drawing/imagination.

DanDruff · 24/11/2009 19:21

oh yes - i htink this thread was once quoted somewhere

badietbuddy · 24/11/2009 19:21

I do liek the idea that its harder to track my posts over a period of time though - something I would reccy everyoen thinks about...

M&S OCD = compulsive visiting of M&S shop and website and posting reviews and opinions despite crap lighting in store and having to wade through piles of crap to find stuff-u-like

Respect to you but one question WHY

badietbuddy · 24/11/2009 19:24

She is the whore, M and S is the crack. Simples

Earthstar · 24/11/2009 19:28

Aha

DanDruff · 24/11/2009 19:29

AitchTwoToTangOh · 24/11/2009 19:31

i was desperate for her to mention the website as the worst offender on the lsos front.
the staff are pretty nice up here, tbh, but then... people are pretty nice up here i think, compared to marble arch. i've always hated that store.

DanDruff · 24/11/2009 19:32

the website did get bette r thgouh
remember someoen saying her brother was th photographer

adn we had been so rude?

shhhh · 24/11/2009 19:32

Fab article .

Spot on and included many things I haven been thinking recently about m&s but assumed it was "just me".

I must add, I did find a lovely dress in their limited collection (im 30, mother of 2 and imo still trendy and a yummy mummy ) I was surprised. In my view it was very designer looking but for a fraction of the price at £35 .

Fits a dream and I love it. see here

Usually the most I buy from m&s is knickers, bra's, tracksuits and basis tshirts. Your basics really.

I agree with staff wearing current seasons clothing (as next etc do) and in fact had the same conversation with a staff member about 3 months ago...

I do like m&s and do still shop there BUT you can persuade me more m&s .

BTW,kids clothing is dire... Can find very few girls (4 yr) items BUT boys..I gave up when I had my son 2 yrs ago!

pointydogg · 24/11/2009 19:33

Good article. All agreed.

As an side, I bought a fab top in M&S at the weekend. Great portfolio number, £25. SUper doops for work and weekend. I want more of them.

badietbuddy · 24/11/2009 19:34

They do ask for it though
mmmm fetching
