Letter: Knickers to all that

Sir: Three cheers for M & S, and 'knickers' to Angela Lambert. Only last week I, with many other women, browsed through the wonderful collection of M & S underwear. We all lined up with full baskets at the check-out. I assume because some of us like to feel those frilly, sensuous, soft silkies next to our skin.

I find these garments fun to wear, and they last and keep their colour quite well. Maybe because my husband would never wash them together with his coloured Y-fronts. Or his socks.

Yours faithfully,
