Marks and Sparks
Visited their web page today for flowers as a gift. Just to let you all know, they now deliver to Italy.

Re: Marks and Sparks
As a worshipper at the altar of M & S underwear (their bras are the best!!) I am really pleased to hear this

Re: Marks and Sparks
Cool! I like that their trousers and jeans come in varying lengths. Their bras don't fit me even in the right size - which they rarely stock anyway! Like their kids coats too!

Re: Marks and Sparks
I buy the short and they always fit. Whereas over here every pair of trousers is about a foot too long - and yet I look around and half the italian woman population are short like me 
Maybe we have discovered a gap in the market
ps: in fact us shorties can never buy bootleg trousers here - cos they just end up straight !!

Just tried to place an order but because my Maestro card doesn't have a start or issue number I can't use it. Bugger!

Oh no - poor you !!!
I was so lucky when in the UK recently - I found a pair of Per Una jeans in my size at the charity shop for £3 - I love them !!!!

Re: Marks and Sparks
I know it's a daft question, but how can you have a card without those numbers on it?

Re: Marks and Sparks
Did a quick google and many international - non-UK - don't have them and they are supposed to be passed as Mastercard - trust M&S to cock it up!!

It's Sunday. I'm happy; just had English breakfast at the local bar! I know that a lot of yous lot have IBS so there's nothing wrong with wearing the comfy pants from M&S. I get my shit from the Calzedonia outlet near Verona!

Re: Marks and Sparks
I think that the delivery address has to match the address on the card, this was certainly true of Next who also deliver to Italy.
We have a shop in town that has started selling cup size bras. Also BonPrix has them too, along with a girls dress that my mum bought in Mothercare.
