Advantages: Eat in for £10 for 2 people Disadvantages: May not have full selection
Marks and Spencer Dine in for two at £10 offer has been running for sometime now, but I hadn't seen it in the new shop that opened nearly a year ago in Livingston, until quite recently - probably because I went at the beginning of the week and it is only on Thursday to Sunday inclusive. I think it has become so popular at Marks that other supermarkets have followed and copied the idea but I have never been tempted in Tesco, as the selection was quite poor, the wine had run out etc.
We have tried this a few times now and only once have been disappointed with one product. Marks and Spencer are renowned for good quality food although they do tend to be quite expensive, but in a world where people want to cook quickly they certainly provide easy to cook and tasty prepared food.

Advantages: excellent food Disadvantages: a little costly
We have all heard the stories of how poorly Marks and Spencer’s is doing in the clothing department, although things have started to improve. One area Marks had proven to be extremely profitable is their food halls. Marks and Spencer without a doubt provide some of the best food around, albeit more expensive than a typical high street supermarket.

Prices are a little steep, but their food products are quality, and any unused food (at least sandwiches) is given to the local homeless when the shop shuts ...

Advantages: a brilliant debut Disadvantages: can be hard work remembering all the ancestors!
to the founder of Templeton, Marmaduke Templeton, I was transported back to the time of his womanizing by reading the story first hand from the housekeeper and various other characters, whereas when I was reading about Marmadukes son, I was reading excerpts from his diary that Willie discovered through her very own ghost! As you can imagine, this book has far too many elements for it to ever become tiresome.
All of Willie's ancestors seem to have some quirk about them that makes them interesting and there is nearly always some humour injected into each chapter about her ancestors, but, out of all the stories, there are two that particularly stuck out for me. Willie comes across some correspondence between two of her relatives that has been left to her mother from her grandfather - marked "contents disturbing and painful". Of course, I ...
