Am I Being Unreasonable?
I wanted to buy some tights today for Eldest Baby Smat. They're for school, so have to be black. She's not especially careful, so they need to be at least 40 denier to minimise laddering. They need to be either ladies small, or childrens age 13-14.
So, off we go to Bluewater to the flagship M&S store. Big shop, rubbish weather, plenty of tights, yes? Well, actually no. Children's department have plenty of navy blue tights in all sizes, or black in age 5-6. Women's department has brown. In Large or Extra Large. Apparently there's "no call for plain black tights any more". Since when? We don't all have the legs for fishnets these days.
So, Am I Being Unreasonable? I don't think so.
(and if you know of anywhere which sells 40 denier black tights in Small, let me know please)

I had exactly the same problem in M&S the other day - and what's all this about 'no call for plain black tights any more' - even I know, and I know nothing about fashion, that opaque black tights are ridiculously 'in' at the moment. Honestly. Sort it out, M&S!

apparently there's a "care package" of black tights from North East Scotland sitting in a warehouse somewhere while the Royal Mail sort out their operational difficulties. Who'd have thought the North of Scotland was "on trend", eh?
