Have you tried Bravissimo Elantan? They do good combinations of back/cup size.

I found the M+S one generous (I bought a GG as H was out of stock) and it fits really well.

I am still here, sorry for going AWOL but its been quite hectic really, I have been bugging DH to reduce our SKY payments by taking off the movies as I found out they were costing us £17 a month just for movies and we only watch a couple!!!! So he has just done that and our payments should go down as from next month :j

I was in Mr S the other day on an errand for SiL...trying to buy 3 french sticks for her. They only had 3 left of which 2 were broken. In true frugal style I asked for a reduction at the till. After speaking to the manager I was told "WE DON'T REDUCE BATCH BREAD AS IT IS CHEAPER FOR US TO TROW IT OUT THAN REDUCE IT" Now can you believe that. I absolutely insisted ( much to the embarrassment of my OH ) and they did eventually reduce it, but very reluctantly. Obviously it can't possibly be cheaper to throw it out and I pointed this out to them, but that attitude is scandelous and I shall write to the company. Is it that staff can have it free if it's left over, or what?

Staff never got anything free when I worked there.

I think that what he meant but explained badly is that the cost of production is so low that it's better for them to throw away short-dated products and sell full-priced products instead. That obviously doesn't make sense if the short-dated items are all they have left in stock.

The reluctance to reduce "broken" items may be motivated by customers who deliberately "break" items and then ask for a reduction. Obviously you weren't doing this, but it's impossible to tell if someone is trying it on like this.

I really only have a choice (!!) of 1 style so I get them online from them. That branch is a bit wierd... some of the staff are not v helpful.

elantan

is that with bravissimo as well taka

Have you seen their online site? I don't have a store near me and I've used their website before.

I've also used Figleaf once. I think the Evans ones are rubbish and designed by a woman who is a 32AA!!

i know it is hard when you are large breasted lol i tend to go to a local shop (well about 8 miles away) i have to get fitted everytime to ensure i get a proper fit

Yep Bravissimo... I prefer the bravissimo website. I don't have to spend time with the grumpy assistant shocked that I want a bra that fits me :eek: in the Glasgow branch too so bonus!! (I live in Edinburgh but am in Glasgow regularly to see my best mate).

You realise this post is going to look really silly once you have updated your signature It could have taken me all week to spot that 'deliberate' mistake as I am not very observant at the best of times I've updated my signature too - grocery challenge figure is now an annual one, as I don't have enough space to add each month in, and it makes it look much better than I thought I was doing
