          Why not? I would be lost without mine! :)

          As I live in France I have an ID card. Never been a problem and can be useful. Why would it stop you going to a supermarket?

            Fat Controller, it was a long time ago but I have been twice. The second time we stayed at a lovely B and B with the lovely gentleman Armandaii. It is well worth a paddle in the canoe!

                  There is a housing association house across the road from me, and they are getting it ready for new tenants.

                  The decorators arrive around 8.30am and are gone by 2pm.
                  Possibly a 6 hour day?

                    Haven't bought from M&S online for a while, now I remember why :mute:.

                    Looking for some t-shirts and summer weight jogger type trousers for my husband; when searching on M&S website I just can't get past the male models, why do they have to have sultry, moody expressions? Wouldn't like to meet any of them down a dark alley. The female models are no better. I just can't relate to their products.

                    So I clicked into Cotton Traders and was met with wholesome looking models with smiley faces.

                    Sorry M&S your marketing bods have lost you my custom to Cotton Traders, I've no doubt saved a bob or too as well.

                          My mother's snobby relations always went to 'Marks' as they called it. They were all la-di-da and had always bought this or that in 'Marks' so my mother never went there, just to be different from them.
                          I always call it 'the snob shop' :biggrin:
