Sharon’s so right about M&S

SHARON OSBOURNE, right, says she’s coming back to live in Britain because, among other things, ‘I miss Marks & Spencer’. It’s so true. Whenever my mother comes over from Italy, the first thing she does is head for M&S. I once lost her for an entire day in the Marble

Arch branch. I was about to send out a search party when she resurfaced in the food hall, laden with underwear and raspberry jellies. Like the BBC and the Monarchy, Marks is, for all its flaws, a brilliant British institution – and one that it takes an expat to truly appreciate.
