    I wonder if our Egyptian Cotton bedding was made in China

      I bought some luggage from John Lewis but it grew legs and ran off. Then I bought a washing machine but it would only go into rince mode when it was breezy.

        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          You'll probably find that "The Worshipful Company of Merchant Tailors" might have something to say about that.

            Or else Siberian geese mutated after Chernobyl, and now resemble giant airborne porcupines
            That's a coincidence. I ordered goose once in a Siberian restaurant and it looked suspiciously like hedgehog and turnip. The boiled cabbage and beetroot starter was ok though

              I stand corrected!

              There are well read people of taste and distinction within this bastion of decadance and perversion

                You need to go for these ones:

                Buy John Lewis Hungarian Goose Down Pillow online at JohnLewis.com - John Lewis

                which are 100% down. Most of the others have a percentage of feathers or a feather core.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Oooh - tempted. A few people complaining about the smell though.

                    Hmm. I have 4 of them and no funny smells. Perhaps there was a bad batch or something.

                      Ordered. If they smell, they're going back!
