I remember when M&S used to be in Canada. As a kid I hated the place, the food and treats reminded me of things at my grandmothers house and my mom was always trying to put me in would be church clothes there. Then they left, and like a mistreated spouse who dumps you, you didn't realise what you had until it was gone.
Fast forward to my most recent trips to the UK I was pleased to discover that M&S was alive and well, and for some reason, what I previously resented about them, I now loved! Great clothes for all occasions for the adult ME, a full out grocery store with lots of convenient options for the busy person, an extensive war chest of boozy treats (complete with spirits, wines and great local UK craft beers). Excellent all around!
I only wish NOW that M&S would bring their fancy re-branded selves back to Canada so I didn't have to travel to the UK to get my fix! read more
