M&S wavering

There is nothing but stubbornness stopping M&S from dumping grouse meat. They have dumped it in the previous two years – once for a good reason and once for a bad reason. Last year, they just used what looked like an excuse but in 2014 they said they wouldn’t sell grouse meat until they received…

M&S behaving very strangely and very badly

I’m losing confidence in M&S and I guess many of you are too. They are behaving in a very shifty manner – nothing like the openness I would hitherto have expected of them. Is M&S going to sell Red Grouse in any of its stores this year? It’s not a difficult question and it can…

M&S AGM

Marks and Spencer – your AGM is a week tomorrow. Please can you tell us all whether you really are planning to sell Red Grouse meat in your stores this autumn or whether we ought to start a boycott of M&S goods now? M&S claims to have an industry-leading code of practice for game meat…

No promise to do anything about labelling on the issues surrounding lead. I suggest that either M&S label all their shot game…

M&S: the smoking gunner?

M&S, the grouse, the lead and the hen harriers

I am a fan of Marks and Spencer (M&S) – but maybe that is going to change.  I am signed up to their email newsletter (which only yesterday was telling me about offers on champagne and lingerie – how sadly they misread my lifestyle!), I tend to seek out their stores in London to buy…
