a rant about marks and spencer

Good food, comfy knickers. That's about it really. Mind you, in the '90' s I did buy a couple of suits there.

I prefer pot still whiskey like Bushmills and Jim Beam bourbon. No class here just fine sipping whiskey and M&S inner pants!

i used to drink whiskey every now and again, it was my favourite tipple. i have 1/4 bottle of 10 year old single malt (cannot remember which one but it wasn't cheap ) and it must be 20 years old by now.
t total now for 2 years at least. nicotine free for 6 months.

There's a bottle of Talisker sitting next a bottle Laphroig quarter cask in my study right now.

Sweet Jesus! I wish I had that kind of willpower. Haven't smoked for 20 years but the scotch, now, that's a different temptation altogether.

Try shopping at Next. They take the concept of selling sub quality over priced tat to a whole new level................

The last time I was in M&S, I was being eyed by a security guard as a lifter. Apparently you have to wear tweed and drive a Volvo to be allowed to peruse the shop at your leisure.

I quite like Next, I've had a few things from there including a 3 piece suit (court appearance yes, har har) - can't fault it. My favourite hooded jacket is from there too - 4 years of wear and it's still washing well.

As a sidenote - it appears I'm getting old.

They also sell exceptionally nice sausages and @ 5 yoyos for a packet they'd want to be nice.

Meal deals are good, main, pudding, bottle of plonk for a tenner and they actually taste alright :-)

I'm not welcome in our nearest M&S the last time Mrs Odd was buying her unmentionables and trying on stuff I completely misinterpreted a sign that read "knickers down, now's your chance"
