Any brands you'd like/not like to see?

Oi, Jangly I will have you know that a client of mine is a major supplier of walk-in baths! (Althought I admit that I wouldn't want to see them advertising on here!) BTW, we still need some extra mystery shoppers for that project!

Charlotta, yes, I agree that I would like to be able to find clothes with sleeves that are just above the elbow, but not everyone wants bigger sizes, I am still looking for "smart" T shirts (i.e. sort of tailored, rather than baggy beach wear, to wear under business suits) in a size 10-12, at an affordable price.

Granny61 Totally with you on Lakeland! Great products, great service.

The stupid toothpaste advert. He shines this gadget over her teeth and she is so surprised that they are not clean as she has just cleaned them. She then cleans with his toothpaste and surprise,surprise the gadget proclaims them to be sparkling clean. And just to convince you they say it is the one most dentist recommend.( How many dentist and how much did they get paid)
How stupid do they think we are!

If they can guarantee a waist like the model's waist in the advertisement picture then I'll buy a dozen bras, but I doubt if that will happen :-)))

smug remark coming up jangly I work for the JL Partnership - I get 15% off Waitrose and 25% of John Lewis - except for electrical goods where I 'only' get 12%. Sorry to gloat

dorset, you'll be glad to know that since they built a Waitrose just down the road from my house, I have added significantly to your (and my DiL's) annual bonus.

thanks Gransnet for giving me the info. about Sloggi-type pants in Sainsburys - a very good buy @ £6 for 5 pairs

Yes to Fit Flop footwear
No to anything endorsed by Carol Voderman

I have no axe to grind as I no longer live in the UK, but my daughter and I both found that Direct Line insurance were very helpful and efficient when I had a motoring accident in France (before I moved here) and she had her house flooded. I don't know if they are the cheapest, but you find out how good your company is when you have a claim!

I love Amazon, as I can order 'used' books for about £2 and they will deliver to France.

I would be pleased to see 'ethical' products e.g proven sourcing, fairtrade etc. Think we all prefer to know that what we wear /eat /use has not been come by through exploitative means.

Nothing patronising to older people please!

Definitely NO to Nestle for all sorts of very good reasons and that includes L'Oreal and Body Shop which they 50% own.

No funerals.

I agree with charlotta anyone with dresses with sleeves but they don't have to be in 'older' designs please.

Holidays would be good.

B&Q/Homebase discounts would be good.

Not too many children's products please as my DiL keeps complaining they only live in a small house!
