M&S Simply Food — Local services in Liverpool

The new L1 one is lovely and modern, more open and not packed up with goods everywhere like the old one in Church Street . But not the M & S ‘village’ that I have known for 70 years of my life with its beautiful cafe, menu and customer service. The old building was iconic and soon to be taken on by TJ’s moving from London Road. (Love that!) Prices are increased if I compare what I bought before the move to today. Food hall is amazing but on the 1st floor but no longer easily accessible for families and the disabled. Cafe is an absolute joke in size, menu and customer service.

He was informed by 2 customers that a lady member of the M&S staff had taken the hoodie off the floor and taken it in to the staff room.

I can only surmise that she has taken the hoodie and realizes that it’s an expensive garment so didn’t want to return it. He had to leave without his hoodie as his train was due. I informed the M&S complaints department in writing but they are not interested as it’s a franchise. So in summary, be careful as one member of staff working there is a thief & M&S are...

Although its exact place of origin is uncertain because of long cultivation, it probably originated from the Fertile Crescent region straddling between Egypt and Mesopotamia.[3] The species is widely cultivated across Northern Africa, the Middle East, the Horn of Africa and South Asia, and is naturalized in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.[4[6] P. dactylifera is the type species of genus Phoenix, which contains 12–19 species of wild date palms, and is the major source of commercial...
