Oh dear, that`s a pretty sad reply fella.


"Get a life"

Phrase used by insecure xenophobes as a response to someone with different hobbies, interests or attitudes to themselves. These people often think they have a lot of friends, but usually nobody really cares for them.

Phil

How may you say that is ridiculous if you have not done the research.

That is why you have to do more market research.

Plus get a life and spend a little...

QANTAS , I said it was just one return journey..... and I asked the cabin crew of which there was only two, for a rough idea on sales. It`s not an M & S problem , if there`s a problem at all it`s a BA problem . Time will tell if it`s any good.

Your 'Boots staff buy M&S sandwiches' is ridiculous. How many people would have to be interviewed to confirm that one ? :-)

Can highly recommend MKS Clotted Cream Pudding, marvellous,
except for the waistline.

I'm guessing that is not on inflight option ).

British Airways named UK's top 'superbrand' for fourth successive year...

[qantas] 27/2/2017 06:55

Phil FYI Boots staff buy M@S food for lunch due the Boots range is very limited.

[qantas] 27/2/2017 06:50

Philip why bother being a shareholder if can't even buy and experience the onboard Marks and Spencer food service your research post is a waste of time as you would have to follow the whole crew service from front to back and not just one row of seats point less post.

Flight back from Lisbon to Heathrow last week I reckon 20% of the full flight made a purchase, mainly tea and a packet of crisps. A handful bought the on board sandwiches or a lager, but the majority either didn`t bother with anything, or had bought their own food on board..... flight out to Lisbon around 75% capacity, food and drink purchases even less.

Of course I can`t say this is typical and it is after all only a short two hour flight and a new service to get used to.

I didn`t know what to expect so I took a 'meal deal' from a Boots outlet at Heathrow on board , sandwiches, crisps and a bottle of water for £3.50p , which as it turned out was about half the on board price.

I didn`t bother with anything on the return.

Be interesting to see how this progresses.

BA Carried 100 million passengers in 2016


‘Consumers value what they get from BA. If they didn’t, you wouldn’t have customers or see the numbers growing. Sales on board have been well in excess of what we expected.

Mum's supermarket thank you video of baby at the checkout goes viral

The problem I see with John Lewis is no margins in Electrical etc plus they are never knowingly under sold so they are (cheap) and don't compare in any way to MKS which is a very different business model and the NEW M&S Foodhalls are a great way forward.

It must be tough..

'John Lewis to cut nearly 800 jobs'

Shorters buying back short trades today we should see a very nice rise sooner than later....

[qantas] 22/2/2017 14:02

Qatar is rich they would like both.

[diku] 22/2/2017 13:44

Clothing is a tough call out there...isn't Qatar more into Sbry?...

[qantas] 22/2/2017 13:37

I think a bid may come from China or Qatar at this low price.

Please do your own research..

[diku] 22/2/2017 13:26

Who opened those shops in China?...which CEO?..

[philanderer] 22/2/2017 13:04

It`s starting..

'Marks and Spencer : & Spencer to Withdraw from China'

02/22/2017 | 11:24am CET

BEIJING, February 22, SinoCast -- UK retailer Marks & Spencer to close its shop in The Place in Beijing on March 19 and all products are promoted at a discount of 50% from February 21.

The more than 130-year-old Marks & Spencer has continued to loss since entering the Chinese mainland market from 2008.

On November 8, 2016, Marks & Spencer announced in the mid-year earnings report that it will close all of China's 10 shops later and only maintain four commercial platforms in Tmall and Jingdong, which mainly sell food and children's garment.

My retail figures for Feb are going to be stonking. A total reversal of Jan.

Dog of the portfolio this week -17p (5%)

Good weekend everyone.

The CEO said last year that he is negotiating better prices with the manufactures to cover the weak £. So unlike other retailers, M&S shouldn't be affected.

[qantas] 16/2/2017 21:43

Can you imagine the dream capitulation we are going to get when the shorters have to buyback 5.16% of the stock or 83.8 million shares
