I've had my MINI now since early Oct and have seen the grand total of 9 others - including the one that lives around the corner from me (is that you??? - WA5 3..). Today nipped to M & S in Warrington and saw no less than 5 others on the car park!!
I used to work for M&S till 4 years ago - Great company, but it's gone to the dogs since then & my shares have bombed. Sort it out will ya!smartbomb said:In the U.S M & S was known as Brookes Brothers, all these stores have now been sold. Their overseas forays have ended rather embarassingly....Recently stores in France closed after scenes of 'panic' !
The tally of UK stores is almost 300, and the business' long standing Baker St. HQ is being relocated to Paddington.
By the way, the celebs in the T.V commercial accepted a reduced fee to assist the 'ailing retailer'. Blah, blah, blah !
Just thought I'd better mention the MINI somewhere, so early next year the MINI-M&S link will grow with my new arrival ! Paid for in no small part by the customers of aforementioned store !
