    I've been Money Tipped!
    Love m+s , got some lovely stuff in the last online sale and visit the outlet stores regularly. Got brilliant bargains there and the staff are realy lovely too. :)
  • Well I ordered some great bargains yesterday which are being delivered to my local store today so no complaints from me:j.
    Hopeless by name, hopeless by nature.
  • Yawn, surprise surprise just had email cancelling both items from my order as they have no stock! It showed more than 10 in stock when I ordered. Maybe one day they will have an accurate online stock system........and pigs might fly!

    I got a pair of their basic skinny jeans and a nightie in the last sale. The quality was horrendous and the jeans went back. I kept the nightie because it was only £3 but it lasted one wash and the neck has ripped. They need to get the quality back - Primark wouldn't have sold the thin, poor quality jeans M&S sent me!

    I was a firm M%S fan for years but rarely go near the place. I am in my mid 50's but don't consider myself that frumpy yet:)

    Ditto. My mother thinks they are old fashioned.

    A while back I'd have agreed with you. But M&S quality has dropped through the floor. I'm just not prepared to pay three times as much for perhaps 10 percent better quality. Add to that the fuddy duddy styles and you can see why they're losing clothing sales.

    Hmm I have to agree that M&S quality has dropped a bit to be honest but for sizing for me it has to be there, im just out of primarks range I think. That said my daughter buys loads there and being a young thing wears it once or twice, couldnt do that with M&S.
    As to school uniforms and kids stuff I still think they are the best
