Marks and Spencer (or Marks and Sparks) is another
department store, but without many departments. As anybody's
mum will tell you, it is the greatest invention since the
Queen Mother. If you buy a jumper from there you will soon
see somebody else wearing the same one. How embarrassing!
But if you buy your y-fronts from there, no-one will know,
so you can enjoy their legendary value for money in peace.
My dad wanted me to try and become a Marks and Spencers
branch manager. I had never heard anything quite so
ridiculous in all my life. The food's quite nice, but a bit
expensive. They don't accept Switch cards. If you turn the
tables round they will probably kick you out, or call the
police pretty sharpish. I think the line should have been
"turning a table half way round before the security guard
pounces". When you are happy to wear Marks and Sparks
clothes, you know that maturity is just around the corner.
Do you know Nick Faldo, the golfer? He's a bit like M&S, a
bit boring, reliable, and rakes in loads of money. They were
also the first shop to stop selling things for X pounds and
ninety nine pence, the one penny increase on evrything
meaning increased earnings of several billion trillion
pounds a year. Last time I was there, they had branched out
into Wallace and Gromit socks.

I think that's everything. Anybody else?
