Absolutely!
After seeing the so called 'superior' quality underwear here, at shocking prices, it's back to ordering M&S for me....;)

Sure. I don't buy clothes in Australia. It's either Singapore or KL or online for me - and then only once or twice a year.

Shopping for electronics, cars, outdoor stuff, tools and radio control planes rocks.
Shopping for clothes sucks the big one.

You're not confined to Bonds in Australia. There are other brands out there which I find more than adequate. However I must admit that I have never tried M&S underwear so maybe I am missing out on something special with so many positive comments....or maybe not.

FOOD - have you been to Coles Woolys and Aldi Here - need I say more!!!!!

Berlei have the closest to M&S, but even their quality isn't as good, and at more than 4x :blink: the price of M&S, I'm better off ordering M&S.... the prices & quality in Aus are truly shocking.
