    Friend works for M&S and told us last night that it is 20% off all clothes and Christmas Shop and wine but not food. For one day only on thursday.

    That is 100 percent correct.

    The great news is the sale is definately going ahead. The even greater news is my partner works for Marks and Spencer so we enjoy a further 20 percent off and not only that staff members who work the Thursday can take advantage of this promotion until Saturday. So in all we will get 40 percent off. Now wheres my credit card.


    You will get 36% off. 20% off of the total bill and then 20% off of that.
  • This is good news. I have an item on order that I was planning to pick up on Thursday. If they had had it in stock 3 weeks ago i would have missed out!

    Marks & Spencer Group, will hold a "one-day 20 percent off sale" on Wednesday to stimulate flagging revenue, The Financial Times newspaper reported.


    Is it today, or next week??
  • I may have missed something but the FT article reckons the sale is on Wednesday Today????

    Anyone confirm this or my stupidity at misunderstanding it!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Marks & Spencer Group, will hold a "one-day 20 percent off sale" on Wednesday to stimulate flagging revenue, The Financial Times newspaper reported.




    The paper also said on Wednesday it had seen data from researcher TNS that showed M&S losing market share in both ladieswear and menswear but gaining in childrenswear.
    An M&S sale would come the day after John Lewis Partnership, the employee-owned group seen as a barometer of retail spending, said sales at its department stores plunged 14 percent year-on-year in the week to November 15.
    Many retailers are struggling as consumers cut back on spending or turn to discounters amid rising unemployment and falling house prices as the country enters recession.
    On November 4, M&S posted a smaller-than-expected fall in first-half profit, reassured investors on its dividend but warned trading will remain difficult throughout 2009.
    Executive chairman Stuart Rose said at the time he was taking a "glass half-full" attitude to the crucial Christmas season and hoped to stimulate trade with a TV advertising campaign featuring pop group Take That.

    I do know that. I was trying to keep it simple.
