    I just got mine from the branch on Cheapside in London. They had a fair few in and there was a large choice of colours.

    The scarf is pretty good but I'd be shocked if it was worth £30 - maybe £15/£20. Still, good little bargain IMO and will be a present for someone at Xmas.

    I went to Canary Wharf, they had all sold out, even had an apology printed in the store, called the branches in Liverpool Street and Fenchurch, also sold out, shame!

    Walked up on my lunch hour (in my wellies!) to Glasgow Store in Buchanan Galleries but it was shut!! I presume because of the weather but pretty much the whole shopping centre was still open!

    Managed to get one in Milton Keynes yesterday - there was a very long queue of people all with their paper clippings - all discussing freebees and offers - the shop team were a little harrassed but did well:beer:

    They ran out of stock about 10.30 - and apparently there was a queue since it opened!!


    Well done to you too:beer:

    Large local store didn't have any, advised Birmingham might have done. Not fantastic.

    I managed to get mine (well my girlfriend got it for me!) from the Leeds store, on the Saturday. Really happy with it - a nice scarf. Apparently though, they didn't give her a choice in colour/design, they just handed one over to her!

    I got mine at Canary Wharf at around 11 am, they were putting out more stock at the time. Queue of about 15 people when I got there. Staff were marvellous.
  • I tried the Leeds store too at 11.15 am.....said they had all gone but very very quickly offered me a 15% discount on another scarf...not a bad way of getting people into your store is it? I refused the discount offer btw and am still kicking myself for buying a paper purely for an offer that seemed too good to be true

    I picked mine up from the Cheapside branch on Monday lunchtime.There wasn't much choice left. Got it home and my OH have half-inched it for himself rather than keeping it as a present!

    Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner.
