'I went to M&S you have to queue to get into to see if it's actually worth it'
Popping in to Marks and Spencer for some picky bits and a bag of Percy Pigs is a luxury many adore - but have you ever queued up to get into your local store? One man was left baffled when he went to the St Alban's M&S, which is allegedly "one of the biggest" in the UK, and he had to queue to get through the door.
TikToker @lifeatgully said that this store apparently has items that "you don't normally see at other M&S shops," so he wanted to investigate what it was like for himself. But he had to wait first because other people were queuing to get in on Sunday morning.
He was shocked to see that M&S were selling Jaeger, and then noticed that this M&S had an opticians, as he remarked that he hadn't seen that in a store before.
"Honestly, I'm getting lost right now," he shared, as the shop was so vast, asking: "Mate, where would you even start in a Marks and Spencer this size?"
After browsing some suits and accidentally finding himself in the bra section, he wandered upstairs to the massive cafe they have upstairs. As he walked up there, he filmed the glass roof, joking that it was "one big greenhouse," so it was "warm".
The beauty section was huge, but he joked he wasn't "in the market" for anything they were selling, so he was most keen to browse the M&S food section.
He picked up some cookies he said had gone viral on social media, remarking: "Let's be honest, you're either a milk chocolate person or a triple chocolate person. I am a triple chocolate person. They look illegal".
Then, he showed off the Colin the Caterpillar stand, which was next to Percy Pig, and the options were endless.
"I didn't realise people still loved them," he admitted, referring to the confectionery.
Something that isn't at every Marks and Spencer is the refill station, where you can return your packaging and M&S will refill certain items for you.
Things you can get refilled are laundry detergents and the like. And if you scan the QR code, when you use your own packaging, you can get £2 off your next purchase.
The shopper decided to make some purchases, buying the milk chocolate cookies in the end, alongside some bananas, ham, raspberries, and a TRIPP drink, sharing that it came to almost a tenner.
"Suppose that's the M&S price, init," he ended his video by saying. But judging by the comments section, people think the queueing and prices are well worth it.
One Marks and Spencer fan gushed: "M&S food halls are like the best self-care one can give themselves".
Meanwhile, another said: "Love an M&S food hall. Their treats are dangerous."

Two rare KitKat bars are spotted back on UK shelves as shoppers fill their trolleys with ‘decadent' flavours
TWO rare KitKat bars have made a surprise return to UK shelves — and sweet-toothed shoppers are already filling their trolleys with the decadent flavours. The fan-favourite treats have been spotted back in stock — sending chocoholics into a frenzy to snap them up before they disappear again. 2 One of the returning flavours is the indulgent KitKat Honeycomb flavour buzz, packed with crunchy pieces of honeycomb and a rich sweet kick. Also back is the KitKat Gold Rush, a cult classic with crushed caramel crisps. Shoppers have taken to social media to rave about the comeback, saying the bars are "interesting" and "I have to get these!" The limited-edition flavours are available in B&M. They've been popping up in stores on and off for the past few years. So fans are warning others to move fast, as they're not expected to stay on shelves for long. Taking to the Facebook group New Foods UK, one member wrote: "Two new KitKats spotted at B&M!" along with a photo attached of the chocolate bars. Excited users flooded the comment section, with one writing: "Mm yummy yummy can't wait to try them cheers everyone." Another added: "Very interesting." A third penned: "I have to get these!" KitKat and ketchup viral trend has die-hard fans feeling 'sick'- but some are more disgusted by how they're eating it New flavour A brand new KitKat flavour landed in the UK for the first time - but it's left chocolate lovers divided. The unusual flavour - Lemony Lime - is being described as a "citrusy take on the classic KitKat". It's being sold at Sunny's Premier Store in Stirling, which is a family-run corner shop that's earned a huge online following. The store has got a massive 10,800 followers on Instagram as it's become known for stocking rare and sought-after snacks. The Lemony Lime KitKat is the latest rare snack to land at Sunny's Premier - but shoppers can't agree on whether they'd want to try it. Some commenters said "yes please!!!" or "I need me some of those kitkats". Another said: "I'd love this one!" But a fourth person said: "NO. Just stop messing with a KitKat! There's no need." And another simply said "ewww". How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. Other new flavours KitKat has recently launched a series of new flavours to excite chocolate lovers. The new KitKat Chunky Funky is a crispy cocoa wafer smothered in a marbled mix of creamy milk and white chocolate. Then there's also the KitKat Chunky Salted Caramel and KitKat Blue Riband Vanilla. The Salted Caramel flavour is like a normal KitKat Chunky but it has salted caramel in its milk chocolate. The Blue Riband Vanilla flavour is inspired by the popular chocolatey snack. Elsewhere, supermarket chain Farmfoods has started selling rare Japanese KitKat flavours. They include Matcha, Milk Tea and Strawberry. KitKats are wildly popular in Japan and there have been more than 300 limited edition flavours of the chocolate bar released in the East Asian country. Many of the flavours are released regionally, and there is a popular tradition where people will bring back flavours for their friends and family when they travel to different regions. 2

Romeo Beckham's ex Mia Regan shows off her incredible figure in a daring backless yellow dress as she launches her new H&M collection
Mia Regan turned heads in a daring butter yellow backless gown as she attended an intimate dinner in London to celebrate her H&M collection on Monday evening. The model, who is the ex-girlfriend of Romeo Beckham, showed off her amazing figure as she went braless under the strappy number. Mia elevated her frame in a pair of heeled brown sandals and accessorised with a number of silver bangles. She her way down the rustic wooden walkway which was lined with personalised yellow flags. The stunner looked in good spirits as she chatted to guests before making a speech at the candlelit dinner. Mia was joined by a number of her model pals Bel Priestley, Maxim Magnus, Edie Liberty Rose and Sophie Watson. Earlier this month, Mia looked stunning as she gave a sneak peek at her new collection with H&M as she modelled a shimmering bikini before changing into a fitted maxi dress. The beauty, who split from from Romeo Beckham last year after five years together, shared a series of behind-the-scenes snaps from the photoshoot with the brand in Australia. Celebrating her clothing line, she partied on a boat wearing a brown dress with cut-out sides and ruched detailing. Mia captioned her post: 'I <3 Aus!! Thank you gals for celebrating my collection with h&m with me!! ❤️ next stop London… drops 17th July :)' Speaking to British Vogue about her collection, she explained: 'I've designed my dream summer wardrobe. It felt like a really good synergy.' Mia added: 'I've subconsciously been building up an archive of inspiration for my whole life.' She is currently dating Henry O'Sullivan and while Romeo moved on with Kim Turnbull - they have since split. It is not clear when exactly Mia and Henry started dating but he debuted her on his social media as early as October of last year. Mia modelled her new backless gown for the bash Belgium model Maxim Magnus, 27, put on a leggy display in a white minidress and brown knee high boots The Mail revealed that Romeo and Kim had gone their separate ways after seven months together, with friends saying that the romance 'fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday. Romeo first publicly launched his relationship with Kim last November after weeks of exchanging flirty 'likes' on Instagram however despite being warmly welcomed into the family, the relationship has now run its course. Friends told The Mail that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola Peltz for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart. One said: 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them. 'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case. 'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.' Mia broke up with Romeo in February of last year after five years together. It is claimed the couple went their separate ways after an argument, with Mia moving out of the home they shared together. When Mia met Romeo at 16, she was a netball-loving sixth-former studying history, art and PE, with her sights on university. Her family lived close to the Beckhams' £12 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds and she and Romeo were first pictured together at Victoria's fashion show in 2019. But after making their relationship 'Instagram official', Mia was catapulted into the limelight. Thoughts of university were left behind as she began working with 50 of the world's top brands including Gucci, Prada, Coca-Cola and fashion house Celine.
