Marks & Spencer Bag A Life Campaign

MARKS and Spencer says it is closing 27 stores and releasing 1,230 staff.

In these hard times it’s not easy being a greengrocer, and in a bid to save still more costs, M&S has altered one of its TV adverts to include an address to staff.

Now Piers Morgan will pause from extolling the juiciness of his rump and be seen sat before huge a red button.

So as not to cause undue distress, Morgan’s voice will be dubbed by Dervla Kirwan (6:30 ITV1) and David Jason (7:45 ITV2).

Says an M&S spokesperson:

“Following the success of our “Bag For Life” campaign, we’ve now brought about out ‘Bag A Life” drive to further reduce carbon emissions in our stores by sacking carbon ‘breathers’ and discouraging human shoppers by way of high prices.”

The vacated M&S stores will be given over to nature…
