WE IRISH HAVE some strong feelings about Marks and Spencer.

Despite the fact that it’s British through-and-through, we have a strange attachment to it.

1. If it ever left, we wouldn’t know what the hell to do

PLEASE TELL US BREXIT WON’T TAKE YOU, PLEASE.

2. The till ladies are the best chat you can possibly have all day

Because the are so much banter, Harding.

3. A lunch deal is absolutely the biggest luxury

Bow down, peasant with the Tesco meal deal. You have a pulled pork bap, a pineapple and coconut iced tea, AND three mini macarons.

4. Anyone who does the weekly shop in the food section has clearly won the lotto

* Buys a trolley full of junk*

5. The clothes are surprisingly nice

Well, once you get out of the massive granny section.

Sure didn’t Alex Chung do a range for them.

6. When you get these vouchers at the till, well, everything just comes together

Oh now you HAVE to spend €50, it’s only right.

* Buys five Dine in For Two deals*

7. The bakery is the absolute king

If you can take us to a nicer cookie, we’ll die.

8. Especially when they make those variety packs at a discount

9. It’s kinda too British for us to feel at ease

But they know how we work almost too well.

10. The cafes are constantly overrun with yummy mummies

Because who doesn’t like room for a buggy and a heap of mini sandwiches?

11. Percy Pigs were sent by God himself

12. And Colin the Caterpillar makes every office birthday that little bit brighter

13. But we all know there’s just something so peaceful about it

14. Even if it is NOTION CENTRAL
