¾ÃÈñ¼Ô guru Jane ¶¯¹ÅÇÉs said: '²¡¤·¿Ê¤á¤ëing up prices to cover costs is one thing, but taking the proverbial is another.

'Cost-conscious ¸ÜµÒs could °æ¸Í¡¿ÊÛ¸î»ÎÀÊ decide they are happy with their favourite ͽ»» lunchbox filling ? at a £´È¾´ü/4ʬ¤Î1 of the price.'

Others on social ¥Þ¥¹¥³¥ß were left enranged after a picture of the ¡ò6 ¶´¤à was ÃÏ°Ì¡¤Ç¤Ì¿¤¹¤ëd to X, with the caption: 'This country is finished.'

One curious ¸ÜµÒ asked: 'Where's the un-posh one, and is it cheaper?'?

A second ¥¬¥¹¡¿±ìd: 'Fun fact: The word posh here ¸½¼Â¤Ë costs you an extra 3 quid!'

'Äɲ乤ë the word posh and you can ¹ðȯ¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë¡¤¹ðÁʡʤ¹¤ë¡Ë¡¿ÎÁ¶â what you like,' a third jibbed.

Another chimed in: '¡ò6 quid, wt* - that's ridiculous.'

'There's nothing posh about egg,' wrote one baffled »ÈÍѼÔ, whilst one exclaimed: '¡ò6 for an egg ¶´¤à! World has gone mad.'?

The 'posh' egg mayo ¶´¤à was ²òÊü¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd as part of the retailers ¿¼¤¤-filled ÈÏ°Ï earlier in 2024.

A ¡ò6 smoked salmon and cream cheese ¿½¤·¹þ¤à¡¿¿½¤·½Ðing ƱÍÍ¤Ë as a ¡ò5.50 prawn and mayo ¶´¤à were also ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ëd as a new ¿·µ¬²ÃÆþ to the cafe menu.

¼¨¤¹s and Spencer also ²òÊü¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd a ¡ò5.25 gluten ²òÊü¤¹¤ë¡¿¼«Í³¤Ê ¶´¤à, ƱÍÍ¤Ë as a ¡ò6 avocado and 'Rainbow Veg' ¿½¤·¹þ¤à¡¿¿½¤·½Ðing.?

An M&S spokesperson said:?'Our ¿¼¤¤-filled Egg Mayo & Watercress ¶´¤à in our M&S Caf? has over 150g filling which ´Þ¤às luxurious egg mayonnaise Ï¢¹ç¤µ¤»¤ëd with salad cream and chives for a richer flavour.?

'Paired with an extra ÁØ of chunky slices of ²òÊü¤¹¤ë¡¿¼«Í³¤Ê-ÈÏ°Ï egg, fresh baby watercress, and ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞÆ­¤¹¤ë leaves, the filling sits in between ¸ü¤¤ slices of soft 9-¹òʪ bread.?

'This indulgent lunchtime ÁªÂò is ¾ÚÌÀ¤¹¤ëing to be a real ¸ÜµÒ favourite that can be enjoyed in our Caf?s or on the go'.?

This comes ¤¹¤°¤Ë after a group of self styled '¥³¥Þ¥É¥ê Hoods- bragged on social ¥Þ¥¹¥³¥ß about stealing from ¼¨¤¹s & Spencer to give À½ÉÊs to food banks.
