Re: My update No classic regular fit linen suits in the M&S flagship store at Marble Arch. In fact the mens department was pretty empty. Picked one up further along oxford street at John Lewis. Alteration service also on offer there to slightly lengthen the trousers for £13. Ready to pick up in two days.

Re: Quality Surprised to hear about expanding jeans. I've been wearing M&S jeans since I don't know when and never had a problem, but not disbelieving you.Wife bought me a pair of heel grips for my dance shoes from Primark, and they came unstuck on first use. A previous paid I'd bought from Boots for twin dance shoes are great. Seems like there can be probs anywhere.Let them know online.

Re: Quality In May he will have been there a year.Taking a bit of time but the clothing has improved of late.I hope we return to more normal profits and no exceptional charges, I suspect with Archie around profits will increase.Fingers, toes crossed.

Quality I have bought several pairs of jeans from M&S over the years. Bought some last year and top was far too baggy, so I sent them back. Ordered some last month, waist 36". After two wearings the waist had stretched to 43". Absolute rubbish. They went back as well.They have an uphill struggle, imo, but they do now have Archie Norman, who might just do more than arrange the deckchairs...

Weathering it Placed an order online last week. It arrived ahead of time, despite the weather conditions. In the local store to collect and the whole shop was very busy. They extended the Sparks 20% off because people couldn't get in when it was on. Seems like it worked well. Their click and collect is really top notch, unlike many other big retailers.

My update Popped into M&S today to get myself a DJ and shoes. Tell you what, the staff were very helpful. Tried on 2 DJs and got advice from fitting room lass, who helped me with deciding on the correct trouser length. She then went through the process of arranging the adjustment. Really helpful. Only fly in the ointment was the time taken for the shortening, but I'm in no hurry.To add to that, the fitting room lass got me a pair of dress shoes so that we could get a better idea of how the trousers sat over the shoes - mine being a bit unsuitable...They had a good range, too: Regular, Slim or Tailored.How do you beat that for off the peg?

Dipped in Decided, despite my general misgivings abut the UK retail sector,that buying a few of these at £3.01 was worth it - the divi is tasty even if the share price doesn't rise (which I hope it will).

Re: Oh dear ... Hi CT,That's what makes a market....both sides on thinking. I like Boo as well with being in them not as low as that but 38p.Extract on SDRYPeel Hunt has edged up its eps estimate to 100.4p this year to end March, which will be reported on 10 May, with 123.6p and 141.3p for the next two years. As the broker notes, “with the major parts of the heavy lifting done, [future results] will be typified by rising sales, gross margin, ebit margin and cash generation…we expect average free cash flow to rise from £14m pa over the last three years to £86m pa for the next three, leaving potentially >£200m for shareholder distribution from FY18-20.”
