M&S Hurricane Lamp

[Robinia]

Has anyone bought one of these ?
Could you please tell me the size of it? I don't know why they don't state it! I have mailed M&S but they haven't replied yet.

Or has anyone seen the same thing elsewhere? Thanks!

<peers round with dimly flickering light... blimey, just as well I went for the hurricane lamp rather than the gentle breeze lamp...> Hello, I see grey is in again this winter. Well, I can always go back to taupe in the spring.

[netibiza]

Is there no electricity in this building - why do we need a hurricane lamp???

[shaneystar2]

Hi Allheaven knows what I'm gonna do without Per Una. Have to slip out now and again into 'out time' for the real thing. Thanks for all your kind words about my hand. Taking the dressing off tomorrow a.m so it can get some air and give it a wash. Had to keep it dry for 48h hours. This is a bit posher than Woolies was. I worked In Woolies when I was at school on a Saturday. Got 10/- a day for my trouble. (50p B****y H**l not much was it.)Never shopped in Marks in those days too expensive. Been to Tai Chi and then for lunch at The Old Crown up the road. Now I'm about to zonk out for half and hour. Quizzing tonight, see you later.

[Robinia]

hehe Jude glad you found us. I've been hiding under the counter waiting for you to start looking for your favourite department....How big was the incision to need that many stitches?!!.... goodness me, you must look like one of those Me to You tatty teddies. When I had the bolt taken out of my neck (that's what I tell people) there were 4 stitches over about an inch...maybe hands need more per inch? Hope it heals quickly....you are excused sweeping up at end of day duties!

[Robinia]

ps Jude neighbour tells me they've had snow in Buxton...yikes!

[jno]

10 bob a day,Jude? You plutocrat! I used to sell newspapers and I got 10 bob a week plus a hapenny a dozen and not many of those.

[shaneystar2]

Perhaps we may come across Mrs Slocombe hiding in gents underwear....mind you she wasn't very Marks and Sparks was she .I see Vinny is operating the lift .

Ground floor perfumery,
stationery and leather goods,
wigs and haberdashery
kitchenware and food...going up !

[netibiza]

I'm free - well I couldn't resist it.

[Robinia]

hahaha lol shaney....that's it! ....we'll be Are You Being Served....oooh can I be Miss Brahms please as I'm the baby? I can do the voice.....I'd better look for some 'uplifts'....

[Robinia]

Vinny have you stopped smouldering yet?.....last time I saw you, you'd been flamb�d by naughty jno.....sorry I couldn't find the fire blanket
....hahaha .....multiple windows....lol....

[shaneystar2]

Very quiet our Vinny ..he's probably scouring Animals and Nature looking for Mrs Slocombes pussy .Never fear I'll have a word with Mr Rumbold about him....Youv'e all done very well......
