Fresh thread in case part 2 fills up overnight.
I am yet to receive a reply to my third email, have been furiously tweeting, and as am now pursuing the options available to me as a shareholder.
Still crossing fingers for John Lewis!

Slight derail but everytime PC Gul is mentioned I think Spiderbaby 😂

I should have mentioned that Lani resorted to the classic "hello hello can you hear me" to avoid telling me what other sexes, besides bisexes, there are. Or maybe M&S's phone system is melting down, given I was connected but not getting any hold music.

They seem to have forgotten it's their customers they are treating with such contempt. It all seemed designed to put anyone raising the issue of changing rooms into a silo, which suggests there have been a lot of us, so we need to keep up the pressure.

This has really riled me, and I don't give up easily either. I'm beginning to feel a bit Pankhurst.

This man twice filmed women at a clothing shop in Wimbledon with one in full view in just her bra and knickers.

Wonder which clothing shop he was in??? Which clothing store admits to having allowed men to share changing rooms with women for some time and has a branch in Wimbledon ? Usually these court cases are specific about where incidents happen but for some strange reason there is no mention of which shop this happened in. Hmm

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 25/11/2019 19:18

I have a friend who lives in Wimbledon so I know it well.

It can only be one of the two department stores or Gap surely?

There was the Eddie Katz guy filming people there recently too wasn't there? They are awash with perverts. I wonder if my friend knows Shock

GeordieTerf · 25/11/2019 19:32

Haha! I am howling at "bisexes" Grin

NumbersStation · 25/11/2019 19:32

I think these men Should be made to pose in the same size and style undergarments as the peeped upon, in exactly the same state of undress.

And a poster (life size) put up in the town centre saying what he’d done and explains this ‘man’ could be in a changing room next to YOU.

No doubt he would bleat about human rights but I would care not as he would not deserve rights.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 25/11/2019 19:40

I'm tempted to respond to every fool gibbering at me about gender with BISEXES now.

Mumfun · 25/11/2019 19:48

Would love to know which Wimbledon store too. They do have a few other possible shops like Uniqlo and H & M also.

Coatandhat · 25/11/2019 20:06

Numbers and then locked in the stocks for a spot of restorative justice?

NumbersStation · 25/11/2019 20:23

Aye.

Funny how restorative rotten veg and rotten eggs could be for our sense of well being eh @Coatandhat

Normally these things are reported - which is why I'm so suspicious.

VinandVigour · 25/11/2019 20:42

My husband has just reminded me that he has life insurance with M&S. I’ve suggested he contacts them and asks, as women are less likely to die, but more likely to have a critical illness, would the premium reduce if he self identifies as a woman.

He is looking at it from the other point of view, he wants to become a transwoman as women live longer!

This may give you some insight into our relationship! 😉

StandUpStraight · 26/11/2019 09:51

I am going to save so much money. No M&S and now no John Lewis or Waitrose. I have written to both to explain why. JL confirmed that “as an inclusive business” they encourage people to use the changing rooms they “feel comfortable in”. I wrote back to point out that they are inviting in men who get a kick out of making women uncomfortable or are indulging a sexual fetish, creating the conditions for women and girls to come to harm on their premises, and then asking their employees to police it. Utter idiots.

Akire · 26/11/2019 10:54

I was going order some bras From TU Sainsbury’s but password was having day off. But today it’s 25% so worth having look at pants as well!

Akire · 26/11/2019 11:00

To those who reported fetish review as inappropriate have they been left up?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 26/11/2019 12:28

@ StandUpStraight - same here with JL - I wrote and asked what their policy was and the basically told me to ‘do one’ and that that was their last word. I did go back and ask - since this issue was causing some distress - but no response so they don’t really care.

Where do I get bloody school shirts from now? (Last not from here and M&S were pretty crap anyway so I was looking for alternatives).

Coatandhat · 26/11/2019 13:29

Well done Standup. That seems clear enough.

Coatandhat · 26/11/2019 13:33

@Akire I've reported so many as inappropriate, I can't recall which ones. I'm certain some of them were on this page though and they're still standing. And look at the number of thumbs down on them now!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 26/11/2019 13:54

wow that's a lot of males.

Akire · 26/11/2019 14:17

This new male review is from yesterday so dosnt look like anyone’s bothering to do any image control. Helpfully tells us his wife likes them as well.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 26/11/2019 14:20

And you have to submit and reviews and have them 'passed'. But then I suppose people are scared to 'not be inclusive' these days.

I should write one and say that it fitted my pet dog rather nicely.

Akire · 26/11/2019 14:23

Grin I doubt it would get passed but these are crazy days!!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 26/11/2019 14:29

I like the way they weren't all that happy about the sizing. They do realise these are ladies pants for lady bums don't they?

Michelleoftheresistance · 26/11/2019 18:27

I know Fekko , designing women's clothes to fit biological females is just so exclusionary.

There ya go M&S, your new range lead:

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 26/11/2019 18:31

MC Hammer pants!!!
