Lengthy rant alert...
This afternoon I went into M&S to stock up on basic clothes.
I wanted thermal t-shirts and leggings, which apparently are not in stock because they are "seasonal"
(in January)
I chose four dresses, Two of which were thin cotton for summer, but it is the "right" season for those, and come June, They will only be selling ski suits and the thermals I wanted today.
NONE of the dresses were in my size, which is a (very porky) 14.
I think it is the most common UK size. Okay, it might sell out quickest but wouldn't you think they would notice and keep more in?
The assistant suggested I try online,
I found a pair of cashmere jogging bottoms on the sale rail. No price tag.
After a lengthy wait in the queue while the only available assistant told her friend everything I didnt want to know about Richard E Grant, I was reluctantly told the price and that they were non returnable! Why???
I didnt bother.
This was in one of what they laughingly call their flagship stores.
I give them three years. If that.
