I have mixed feelings about M&S - we have a food only store on a retail park nearby which I was in yesterday - the food quality is very good but it's not where I would buy a whole week's shop as it's too expensive. I was in the main store a few weeks ago and didn't see anything I would want to wear but did buy a full set of their beautiful new picnic range in the homeware department. I usually buy my underwear at M&S too.
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
