Re: What is your most missed M&S thing???
I always got my kids school uniforms from M&S, I miss that here,as the primary school they are in use polo t.shirt and short as the uniform, and doesn't quite cut the mustard compared with a 'real' uniform. The kids prefer it though.
I used to hate M&S clothes, I always thought they were too old fashioned, but over the years they have tried to compete with other brands and have done a good job. Their jeans are now in league with Next jeans, fashion wise. I recently ordered 3 pairs, and a couple of pairs of combat trousers. Only cost me $240for the lot. Inc postage.
Have a look and try them out.

I used to get my work clothes from there - smart skirts, blouses etc. Bras, well Im sorry but in recent years could never get anything big enough that didnt resemble the girth of a horses saddle for bra straps.
Food wise, I loved the chinese style chicken wings, the BLT sarnies, fresh OJ complete with bits in it.
When we buy 'fresh OJ' here, it never ever tastes fresh - the kind of taste that makes your eyes almost water as it is so tangy, it just tastes as though it has had heaps of sugar added.
I hated Next, so don't miss that at all. But I do miss going to Denim car boot sale and the various markets in London.

Nothing. Their prawn sarnies were ok but not amazing. Much prefer Bonds to M&S knickers, they last longer and fit better (that's my body obviously). Rarely used M&S. Do have a couple of jumpers but apart from that I was never a fan.
Wasn't a fan of any of the shops that BE people seem to stress over either so I'm obviously odd.

I miss nothing from the UK. Apart from my best friend and my sister.
