The cookware and cleaning gadget shop Lakeland sells Niederegger marzipan, particularly in the months leading up to Christmas.Originally posted by Bella Kemp View Post"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

At least some Waitrose stores stock Niedergger, though at an exorbitant £5 (as against Lakeland's £4.99 for 100g). A clear example of their no longer being "never knowingly undersold".Originally posted by LHC View PostComment

Did not Waitrose also use the slogan once John Lewis took then into its partnership in 1937? They may have dropped it before the John Lewis Partnership department stores but I seem to recall them using it when I first started shopping in them, back in the 1960s.Originally posted by oddoneout View PostComment

From Wiki: - 'In 1925, Spedan Lewis devised the slogan 'never knowingly undersold' at Peter Jones. Intended mainly as a control on sourcing merchandise, it also meant that customers could shop knowing that they were not paying more at Peter Jones than they could buy identical goods for at other stores. Trade improved and profit-sharing was resumed.'Comment

Thank you Bella. I'm a bit late in replying to your kind suggestion - the truth is I have just seen it. I went to the website and saw some of the temptations which will suffice for now. I was in my Lidl store today and completely forgot to look for their Christmas marzipan. But, I've picked up the scent after your last year's post and I'll track down what goodies are available. May I be the first to wish you a sweet and merry Christmas?Originally posted by Bella Kemp View PostComment
