Vent - M&S screw Scotland!

Visited M&S site today and saw they have 25% off purchases of 6 bottles of wine or more in store in England.
Thought nothing surer than they would have reduced all wine by 25% in Scotland (they can't sell multi-buys here due to our legislation).
Gutted to find no reductions in-store.
So it seems M&S says "Screw you, Scotland".

I wouldn't be surprised if the Scots don't find that there are a lot of disadvantages (as well as advantages, of course), in ploughing their own furrow.
It will certainly be a case of swings and roundabouts.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -
Think on, you Scots. When you're faced with your referendum and your devo-max stuff, just ask yourself this: What about the price of multi-buys in M&S? That's the crucial question."Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell" - Edward Abbey.0

Oh dear, nae cheap wine fae Markie's.
The benefits of being Scottish far outweigh a discount on wine! :rotfl:I'm not that way reclined
Jewelry? Seriously? Sheldon you are the most shallow, self-centered person I have ever met. Do you really think that another transparently-manipu... OH, IT'S A TIARA! A tiara; I have a tiara! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me!0 -

You have shops open for decent long hours on Sundays up there. More than makes up for it.
And you have all that beautiful scenery. Not to mention the Orkney Islands which I visited for the first time last June and had an amazing time.
If my family and work weren't darn sarrfffff I'd be heading north in a heartbeat.
