Just visited our local M & S food hall where they have moved everything around. They have moved the confectionery section as far away from the tills as possible, when husband asked why he was told that it was a new rule brought in by the Government to get confectionery away from the till area. Now I know a lot of shops have removed confectionery away from the tills but isn’t this a step too far? Can’t children (adults) be told that they can’t always have sweets etc? No discipline allowed these days whether it’s from a parent/guardian or self discipline. The world is getting madder every day.

Moving things around may seem annoying and illogical but it’s extremely good for the brain. We shouldn’t always be doing the same thing in exactly the same way. Food shopping is boring and repetitive anyway as we tend to buy the same things each time. Embrace change!

Not so easy to embrace change when you're stressed, ill and pushed for time.

I'm a carer and don't have the luxury of time. Yes, food shopping is boring and repetitive - for some of us, that makes life a lot easier! I am on a limited diet anyway so there are many things I can't embrace. Though I do research novel ways of preparing and cooking what I am allowed to eat... from the comfort of my laptop sitting by a log fire smile at the end of a wearying day!

In my local large M&S I noticed they were selling a number of franchises like Seasalt and the like. As far as I know they have never done this before.

There’s a proper term for stores re-jigging their layout (can’t remember it) which is for their convenience not ours. We have to search for what we want and possibly see other lines we’d like to try.
Obviously it’s a b***er for those in a hurry, (like Dickens) but it’s the main reason I make a list and stick to it.
M&S are selling lots of other brands, including Phase 8, Hobbs and Jaeger up here.
