    Increase/decrease lines - IDL's show items that are increasing in price as well as decreasing.

    Is there any lingerie, specifically Ceriso range, going to be reduced? I have that brand in mind as it's the only one which caters for my bra size...

    Same question here please! If so, I will go before work tomorrow :D

    So why on earth quote an acronym on a public forum where 99% of the readers don't know what on earth you're talking about - and then when someone asks for clarification, start on some kind of "knowledge is power" ego-trip and make them feel small?!?

    Sorry but it's pathetic



    Agree with you gwapenut,

    Poster knowing the chance of anyone on here understanding what it stands for , what was the point of including in original post..
  • Here I put increased decreased lines at 9am this morning! Anyhow I can tell you it's not a very big sale this time, not much ladieswear anyhow.

    !!!!!! is an idl?

    An idl stands for 'increase/decrease list'. I worked for M&S about 20 years ago and that was what it meant then anyway!

    Supervisors used to stroll around importantly clutching these lists and say they needed to sort out the idls. I think us little Saturday Girls were supposed to be impressed/intimidated, but I had the nerve one day to ask what they were talking about!!

    By the way, !!!!!! does !!!!!! stand for?;)

    I work there aswell and thought IDL's were 'Identified discounted lines'. Before a sale we use the IDL's to identify sale items and to put the stock into place.

    There are no ladies shoes in this sale. Whoo hoo:j (they get so messy)

    There is also further reductions on Per Una tomorrow, so they'll also be non-returnable;)
