Kartoffel chips in M&S.

Oh dear!
16 regular is my size too, at least in M&S, although I do have several pairs of bootcut jeans in size 14 regular which still fit.
The chinos I recently purchased were not, at the time, available on the rails in a regular length although 16s in small and long were, so I ordered them delivered to store.
Perhaps you could find your required style online.
On Monday I bought some short sleeved 100% cotton pjs in store, pale green with printed wooly sheep on the bottoms as I had a 20% discount on nightwear. Only £10 so, as the discount expires Thurs, I ordered another pair in a different colourway today.
Yep...Bangladesh again. There's no getting away from it.
Finding food, clothes or anything made in Britain nowadays, is like panning for gold. A fools errand. ??

Yes, I did indeed vote for Brexit and, as a vegetarian, I wouldn't be eating spam anyway. Swede and locally grown seasonal veg are readily available where I live in South Surrey.
As for clothes, I have plenty to be going on with but, should I need more, Bangladesh and China aren't in the EU so no problem there. When the UK start manufacturing more clothes here, then I shall, naturally, change my shopping habits.

They never seem to have what are probably the most popular sizes in my nearest M&S.
"Oh, they sell out quickly because they are popular"

Well - order more then!

The sales racks are full of 8, 10 and 20+

You're spot-on Jalima1108

Had I been parading in only my white hi-leg midi underwear, M&S food hall would have been devoid of customers and M&S would have paid me to leave.

Wow Gabriella you look a helluva lot better than me in your knickers.?

Not that I wear your knickers of course ( mine are a bit larger, more Bridget Jones.)

I always try and buy British, there are plenty about ( of everything) but maybe not socks, they all seem to be made in China.

Of course, lemongrove I would never deign to sully your eyes with a photo of knicker-wearing me.
Not a good idea. ??

There was a time when the label in M&S goods read 'St Michael' and 'Made in Britain'!!

Imagine how expensive the pants would be if made in Britain?!

Kinky Knickers (careful how you google it!), made in Manchester, are around £15 a pair, so yes, much dearer. They get rave reviews re comfort and quality. I might have tried a pair or two, following my new mantra of buy better, buy fewer, but I think the huge stock of knickers already crammed into my underbed box will see me out!

I couldn't possibly wear knickers! They sound too frivolous for me. I wear pants! No nonsense about them whatsoever
I wish I could get some from 'Underworld' the factory in Corrie.

Well, I was wondering if they were the, ahem, undercover operation behind Kinky Knickers.

GabriellaG54 www.makeitbritish.co.uk - you may find something on there; yes, we will have to get used to less choice (really such an issue?) and paying a proper price for many previously cheap items or do without..quelle horror!

Go commando?

Many thanks for the link.
I've just been perusing the site and 5 pairs trousers, all wide leg and not good for shopping or daily activities unless you're a lady who lunches and touching £100 per pair...yikes!
Bardot tops for £89, shoes that are really quirky but made from 3 or 4 different patterns of leather in yellow, blue pink and check, all on the same shoe. Sale prices around the £70 mark, down from £99+.
Dresses likewise.
Until more clothes and shoes are manufactured here, prices will remain exclusive.
Yull cater to a niche market and the sale priced items had only 1 or sizes left.
The only pair I might have bought (but only size 3 left) were some court shoes with a green leaf pattern and white toe tips. Quite quirky.
I'll keep looking and again, thanks for sending the link.
