Smalls mercy ... Should M&S be forgiven for underwear blunders? Photograph: Graeme Robertson
Marks and Spencer's chief executive gives a spirited response in today's Guardian to a piece by Laura Barton suggesting his store's clothing is "actually a bit duff". Barton herself was responding to a letter of complaint from Jeremy Paxman, asking Rose to restore the gussets of M&S underpants to their former majesty.
As an expert on the matter - I've been wearing underpants on and off now for some 30 years (not the same pair) - I tend to agree with Paxman in as far as he goes. But for me it's more about the weight of the cotton. M&S trunks are now made of such flimsy cotton that you can see through them, which is definitely a quality I seek in other people's underwear rather than my own.
