I emailed Marks & Spencers to ask if they have any plans to bring their stores over to Canada (admittedly I did suggest Alberta). They thanked me for the interest and said they would moniotor the situation. So here's a thought, why dont we all email and ask and then they'll have to.

Just think Ladies, perfect fitting bras, and gents gorgeous ready meals.

Here is the link if you fanct it.

They used to have shops in Canada. I remember 12 yrs ago buying goods from the M & S store in Toronto.

Yup. They pulled out of Canada in about 1999 iirc. I need some new sweaters quite soon. I'd better go to Europe.

They came, They saw, They Were Conquered, they left.

I have to admit, I don't use the Brit stores here but if there was an M&S (especially one with a food hall) I would definitely pop in for treats! Gastropub moussaka....mmmm...

However S&M is still alive and well in Canada.

If I remember correctly they closed most of their worldwide stores around the same time...they weren't profitable.

I've always prefered this version:

vidi, vici, veni.

I suppose I'll get banned for that.

Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam

My best S&M (if thats what you meant) story is about my wifes girlfriend from 30 years ago, she wanted to try a bit of Bondage, so got her boyfriend in on it, he took her up to his attic, stripped her naked, tied her to the roof beams. . . . . .

From M&S to S&M in 10 posts.

Oh no, sorry, it was only 6 posts.

I think you missed the trifficly clever joke. If not, I don't get yours.

No more veni for me.

My turn to be banned.

Only if you're a masochist.

Oh ye of little faith.
