I suppose the western Canada Brits could send a bulk order, then have another meet-up to distribute it all. A sort of M&S party instead of Ann Summers.

I get my bras from www.figleaves.com. They've got a huge range for all sizes and good sales and I would say equal anything you'd get from M & S. I used to use them when we lived in the UK too and was chuffed to find it's only 5.50 GBP to ship here. I have looked and have yet to find my size here in Canada, well at a reasonable price anyway!

You silly beggar. I actually bought bedding (it's cheaper than new beds, no?) plus a couple of packs of knickers. Have you never had ill fitting underwear? It's bloody murder.

Next year I'm in England for a holiday, 27" jeans here I come. First port of call M&S.

If my under-crackers are causing discomfort, I'll go commando. A poor crotch/testicle interface doesn't bear thinking about. I can sympathize with the potential issues that led to your expenditure.

I'm back but only quickly. I took advantage of the offer and ordered my stuff last Friday and it came today, very, very quick. Only paid $15 in customs charges which I was surprised with on a 76 pounds order.

ill fitting undies?

Just buy the next size up or get some boxer shorts, I switch to boxers to stop a nasty case of twisted testicle interface constraint (which attracts mosquitos )

No. Not enough information. We demand photos.


Oh, and we used to have Marks & Spencer in Canada about 20 years ago. Not sure why, but they all closed. I used to love shopping there 'cause I could get stuff my Grandma used to buy for me from England when I was little.

If I bought the next size up I'd look like Ghandi in them! Even the small size here is too big. I just can't see me wearing boxers.

Babsi, your charges sound good but I think mine included PST. Didn't yours?

Great news, Marks and Spencers shopping, here we come.

I hope this applies to the food at Christmas time too, Cakes etc. Last year, the local british store was wanting $45 for a christmas cake from Marks.

Thanks again

Get yourself a boat with a good sound system for the summer, birds love boats.
