Because of the beauty of their Chicken and Leek Pie, and I can't really imagine buying socks anywhere else, I just thought I'd let you know that you can use Switch in M & S but not credit cards.
My apologies to M&S. In my day they wouldn't accept Switch. As if to underline the monumental importance of M&S in British culture, my mother is coming to visit soon (HELP!!), so she very kindly asked if I wanted anything from M&S. In a rare display of diplomacy I said "Yes, mum. Those nice shirts that you don't have to iron and make you look like the Oasis brothers if you're careful not to smile." Actually, I skipped the bit about Oasis. Don't want to freak the old girl out too much. M&S are about to open several new stores in Germany. They recently got into trouble with a smarty pants art expert for printing a Botticelli painting the wrong way round. The expert said that Botty (as his friends call him) would have been furious. I bet he bloody wouldn't, especially if they offered him a sizeable discount in the food hall (easily the best bit of M&S). They've also just banned eggs manufactured by battery hens, which is very nice of them. What would we do without marks and Spencers?
