Like she is some oil painting!

Have been to her store in HoF and the space is good but the clothes awful. I am in my sixties with silver hair, part of the group targeted and would not be seen out in most of them! Rather go to the other franchises in the store such as Biba, Coast and away from there Zara and Gap and actually loads of others but not Mary's

I went in there today, I thought the clothes were nice but a bit too expensive for me. Interesting to see the guy who worked in evening wear (looks like the guy out of Sparks) with the funny mostache was now working for Mary and on the till. Also saw the Scottish manager and the guy who nearly got sacked for missing the train.

"Can you imagine the kerfuffle if it was a male making such a comment?"


Depends on the man. If it was Gok Wan, no, if it was David Cameron, yes and everybody else somewhere on a scale between the two. I think most people would just think there's that fashion pr/women's fashion retailer trying to sell more women's fashion and that's it.

Hate to break this to you, but she has said that over sixties are not her target age group, you (and I) are too old :))


I haven't checked her shop out but from the clothes shown on the telly I don't think I want to - most of them looked vile and like something my mother would have worn, and that's not a compliment.


Don't think she's a great advert for style either, tbh, in the first programme of the series she looked absolutely terrible in most of her outfits, looked like she'd visited one of those people who tell you to wear scarves with everything to "dress up" your outfit.


Bitch over :))

What were the dildos like?


Seriously, she's big on all that stuff.


I think she's got to knock out about 400 a week to break even.


Imagine, that's 800 batteries each week going into landfill.


Or maybe there's a re-chargable one you can keep plugged in next to the Braun toothbrush.



It makes sense.

Quite pretty and very expensive.


But they wouldn't let her sell them, because "we're a family store, how will people explain them to their kids?"


:))


ETA: Bit bizarre selling dildos in a dress shop, no?

No not really.


I often think dress-dildo.


I get dressed/dildoed up most mornings.


Often at the counter I say "Have you got a different size, this ones a bit loose"


Really, why not, I like to feel comfy.

As...


I happened to be working near-by today i just had to go in.


The entrance is divinely atmospheric & almost club like.

I can also report that the "arm-oury" ( tights for bingo-wings ) were selling like hot-cakes.


Indeed.


I did see a few ladies trying on the slash neck envelope dress too.


Put it this way......"Return to sender"


And on the show, I thought she was taking over the whole top floor. However, in reality "Mary" takes up a space not much bigger than the floor space of the Actress.


Oooo how that camera lies.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
