M and S blames Brexit for fall in sales. What next?

Strangely enough I am a big un-fan (is that a word) of M & S clothes BUT I went into their large out of town store in Leicester last week and saw quite a lot of nice things. Sadly it was p****g down and I was in a black mood and didn't fancy anything for summer. Might have a look again in the autumn.

I find that the bra section is well stocked if you are tiny, but medium/large sizes are conspicuous by their absence.M&S need to address their weird sizing policy ( or lack of it.)

Quite z big M&S in Stratford. was wandering around with a gift voucher desperately trying to find something to buy.

Gave up.

Wonder if I could use it in their Food Hall?

I haven't bought anything in M&S for at least a year, basically because their stock is either aimed at the young who don't shop there or is incredibly frumpy - nothing in between. I want quality well made clothes with some style.

Very good point Daphne !!

Well of course!
The sun has gone in this afternoon, I blame Brexit,.
Gracie was sick on the carpet, ditto.
How convenient, I don't suppose our rubbish weather in June or their lack of stock could have anything to do with it. I actually think that when the weather is rubbish , people do hold off buying summer stuff because there is little point, but a clothing retailer based in this country should not be taken by surprise by "flaming June".

Never heard such a load of rot!!

That's the trouble with the whole situation. How convenient to have a scapegoat ? Either a financial downturn, Brexit or the wrong sort of weather.

I was in a huge M & S on Tuesday and my daughter wanted to buy undies for which M & S have been renowned.

They had precious little stock, poor selection of sizes and the ones she wanted had disappeared altogether.

So before you start apportioning blame M & S look at your stock, your target audience and how you are not meeting that expectation . Which means people are shopping elsewhere.

We did !
