I hope you didn't buy your clothes in M & S, I have never seen such a pile of c**p in my life! Yummy food though!

still love it here but don't like people making absurd statements like Denver does about the UK. Despite all my arguing with folk on here, I can see England for what it is even though it doesn't offer me anything anymore.

sorry but after the c**p here M&S would be bliss. The Nottingham store had some of the best quality fashion foreverbody around. I have here that I got 3 years ago and its like new, not like the stuff I buy here and 3 months later it is ready for rags,mind you they were cheap and made in china so I suppose it was good value.

I quite often shop online at M&S, get it sent to a relative and send them postage to send it out here.
I've been here 2 years and we're all still in our M&S stuff.
I did have to buy some Target underwear for my lad - but it's all baggy and stretched 2 months in!

She certainly is either moving to the dark side (which I think most people will eventually do) OR smoking something to make her more mellow. I definately prefur the new northernbird. The old one reminded me of a bulldog chewing a toffee with a face that just needed a good slap. (Joking NB, don't want to risk getting the old bird back.)

I still hate the generalisations people make, assuming that because they had an experience that it must be like that everywhere. I still hate assensach assuming I must be devoid of education and personality because I like it but it was my new years resolution and I think I am doing pretty well

Re: Shops-what do you miss the most?
You just keep on doing it don't you, you are telling us ex-British who by and large know the difference between good and poor quality that M&S stuff is crap quality. You need a reality check, whilst I agree M&S is not as good a clothes quality as it used to be, it still knocks spots off the best you can get here. You might like your knickers and socks only lasting a month and being made to fit a chinese midget with a very small genitalia and being as uncomfortable as hell, but I for one WANT to spend more than a dollar to get a pair that functions and lasts properly.
