The truth is, knowing these times is less about logic and more about survival. You don’t want to be that person pressing your nose against the glass, mouthing “but I wanted a cheese twist!” to a man mopping the floor. It’s a look that says “I have no control over my day,” and nobody needs that energy.
So bookmark this in your phone. Write it on your hand. Send it to your mum. The Oxford Street M&S is open 8 AM to 9 PM Monday to Saturday, and 11:30 AM to 5:15 PM on Sunday. Bank holidays? Just guess. Or better yet, call ahead. The lady on the phone is very patient, and she’s heard your panic before.
Now go forth. Buy a pack of Percy Pigs. Eat one in the queue. You’ve earned it. And if you find yourself locked out at 5:17 PM on a Sunday? Well, the pigeons are great listeners. Trust me on that one.
