They did not have any of the Super Cars version at Denton M when I visited - I do not do incomplete jobs:rotfl:. Unlike the SELs on a range of products sometimes in stores where they haven't changed one of them to show an offer. I think I will never have the others at £1.50 again on the list - but just getting you to pay £6 for one missing from the set. Assuming I have ever seen all of them anyway:rotfl::rotfl:.

So, the above with no "50p Denton" against Super Cars is not an omission and is deliberate. I would not miss one out and this has been checked as I have taken details of all that were physically there in stock - all of which had the store-specific stickered 50p. I think this is a challenge to someone if you are near Denton - go and see if you can find Super Cars! I bet someone will now and is ready to show me up if they manage to find it:rotfl:.

They could be some other store-specific reduced price somewhere else and markdowns from time to time in specific Ms and they could be higher or lower - though I don't find them to be very common on these items as I've only come across some store markdowns once before, in the last 12 months. The "Super Cars" would say N/A Denton, except that they are general £1.50 somewhere else. Maybe I should cross this one out and leave you one short of a set:rotfl: - and, anyway, if you have Denton M and can't find this one there, you would have to travel out to another M and therefore cost you travel costs plus, presumably, the £1.50 if you then manage to find it at another store. I can stare as much as I like, but I will not see "Super Cars" written down on my pages because I have not written it down - and that is because it is not there in all the stock I went meticulously through.

i was collectng my funnel necked fleece from Marks - it is gorgeous, love it to bits big thanks to the OP
i had to get a size 22 :eek: as that was all that was left but it is actually not that big - tried on over 2 t shirts and a cardigan and usually in winter i wear far more layers, even in the house
Ive got a blue fleece i really hate, material is scratchy so thats going into the charity bag pile now

also did a vest collection and these also are fabulous. i think i have an order missing now but i will have a look online incase a cancellation came in unnoticed
what i won't be doing it drawing attention to it by ringing and asking where it is - we have done so well out of these glitches i am not going to rock any boats

thanks again to the OP from yesterday - I was in the bathroom doing the early morning to do list and also catching up with the thread when I saw it and so i literally ran downstairs, unshowered , not a pretty sight and logged onto the marks website as fast as i could, desperate to get an order in :rotfl:

Thanks mhoc Thaat was when the post man rang at our house!!
I'm taking the grumpy old fellow to M&S at the metro centre tomorrow... we are thinking that he may buy a suit (given the last one he bought was for our wedding 43 years ago!) and you get free shoes :T but will need to put together my 3 (or is it 4) order numbers to collect as I also don't want rocky boats either!!

Evening Elite friends :beer:

Hope they finally get DD2's paperwork sorted TS

Another question about Airport Lounge. I'm told you cannot take food and drink onto plane from outside, can only take what you buy duty free, shops etc. So, when in airport lounge, can you take an extra bottle of soft drink from the lounge onto the plane, and mayne something to eat. Thinking :money: here

Officially no, but in reality yesif you are subtle about it!You are allowed to take your own food and drink onto a plane, given you have cleared security, but most airlines have a stipulation about alcohol.

Morning all, I used the sparks offer on some £6 slippers, so they cost me £1. However since then I can't use the offer again. Good job really as I am not sure if I would have ever stopped.
