Ditto - really don't get the hype. Never been been blown over by the quality of clothes. In fact, I have had to return a few items over the years because of poor quality. Really don't like the choice either and I don't like the website, but that's a personal thing. Oh, a few years ago, they did really nice linen trousers for a couple of years, and at really good prices. But hadn't seen them for the last couple of years.

Best thing foodwise were the prawn and mayo sandwiches. Did buy one of their dinner deals once - for Valentine's I think. Was alright, but nothing to write home about.

they still do the linen trousers I get them from M&S bluewater when I'm in the UK.

I hate buying online I prefer to try stuff on first

SWMBO preferred C&A undies as the label showed her how to put them on properly.

Never bought M&S food, but did buy bras there. Sadly on my last recent recce to M&S, they didn't have a single bra that fitted or was the sort I was looking for- non wired slightly padded white t-shirt bra, the kind usually sold to early teens with tiny busts. Everything was wired or patterned. How hard can it be to get a plain white bra with no seams??

They may need the extra overseas business if the UK boycott becomes reality.
