My retail expert ( the wife ) says the new winter clothes lines just coming in to the stores are much more attractive than in previous years and should have a wider generational appeal. Hopefully she's right.( She's never wrong apparently)

Toaday's weakness down to Deutsche..


Marks & Spencer second quarter sales to fall, Deutsche maintains 'hold'


(ShareCast News) - Marks & Spencer will report a fall in second quarter sales, Deutsche Bank forecast on Friday ahead of the retailer's half-year results on 8 November.
UK like-for-like sales will decline 0.7% and underlying pre-tax profit will fall 12% reflecting a mixed performance in an increasingly challenging UK market, the bank said.

Market share gains in food have faded, while the need to reintroduce promotions is likely to have weighed on margins, analysts reckoned.

In the clothing segment, full price share are seen swinging back into losses while total sales continue to be held back by the reduction in promotion and clearance volumes.

"One positive trend should be International where closure of loss-making countries and translational movements should drive a material boost."

But full year forecasts were mostly unchanged and a 'hold' recommendation was maintained, with a 345p share price target.

ALDI also suspends orders from 2 Sisters Food Group..

[simon templar qc] 29/9/2017 13:24

Serious food safety highlighted by the Guardian yesterday against 2 Sisters food Group. All the large supermarkets been sourcing poultry from 2 Sisters Food Group...



Marks the first Supermarket to suspend its poultry from 2 Sisters is the right thing to do. Marks head the field when it amounts to hygiene and food safety.

Seems there is a question over where the poultry is bred, there are allegations its all the same "bird"!

Evidence of sell by dates altered, and poultry fallen on the floor picked up and mixed with other food.

Quite a shocking state of affairs highlighted by the ITV news yesterday at 10.


edit: This is what the Guardian and ITV highlight:

Chicken portions returned by supermarket distribution centres are being repackaged by 2 Sisters and sent out again to major grocers.

• Workers drop chickens on the floor of the processing plant and return them to the production line.

• Workers alter records of where chickens were slaughtered, potentially hindering authorities from
recalling contaminated meat during food scares.

• Chickens slaughtered on different dates are mixed on the production line. Workers said use-by dates printed on the packets of the mixed chicken tended to reflect the age of the freshest, rather than oldest, meat in the batch.


Workers say they wont eat poultry from a supermarket!
