Lovely fresh fish counter, yummy deli, fresh fruit and veg (English strawberries just starting to appear yum!), freshly made cream cakes and of course a vast selection of wines and beers from around the world.

The staff were both charming and highly intelligent, I cannot fault the place at all.

Anyway just my two penneth - going out now to enjoy the lovely early summer sunshine we are experiencing, bye for now!
You do this deliberately don't you.:( Now I am going off to sulk and maybe even cry.

Yes he/she is a very strange sort, not quite sure of his/her motivation for posting on this forum :confused:- and yes M&S food is THE best - they've got lots of new picnic ranges in at the mo - things like Greek pastry parcels filled with with feta cheese, assorted Spanish tapas, big juicy marinated olives - things you can just grab, stuff in a cool box and off you go!!
Oh pleeeease. The last few days I've wanted to come home so bad. I think I'll go and top myself.:sneaky:

Would I ever try and upset you intentionally - NO! One is merely pointing out the merits of the UK food retailing industry to those who maybe less enlightened on the matter (no names mentioned but we know who they are:frown:)

And don't you dare go and top yourself - just do what I did when OH was playing hard ball - go out and purchase 3 one way tickets to Heathrow for you, OH and son and present them as a 'fait accomplis' - job done - Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt and you're on your way back to good old Blighty.

I'm rooting for you big time SGG - one day sooner or later you are gonna be back here for good and that's that!!!
