[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2446073, member: 25851"] Marks and Sparks is what my Dad used to call the shop that we knew as a good quality clothes shop with low prices. Back in the day they didn't sell food at all. They started as a market stall in London about 150 years ago. It's not the same firm as Morrisons (at least, not yet, but who knows with take-overs all the time). A few years ago M&S over-reached themselves, expanding into the Continental market but, they are still going strong, although they are now more expensive for clothes and not particularly suitable for the younger people, who tend to have money to spend. I think going into food has saved M&S's bacon. [/QUOTE]
