Why O why do they make clothes labels out of that stuff that if it doesn't get you at first starts itching quite out of the blue after a number of washes, usually when you are on your way out somewhere and can't spare the time to change!

The result is a ripped seam as you claw the evil thing out of your neckline or side.
Then a ********* from the wife when she sees the damage!

Do they make them from recycled razor blades?

If I am ever found it the street unconscious MI5 will be certain I am a spy because all the labels will be removed from my clothes.

Still at least M&S have started printing some directly on underwear, why can't more do it?

:-P ;-)

It's the corners on the fold that are stabbie. I managed to make a hole in a t shirt when I unpicked one of the blahsted things :-| Why are they sewn on with such tiny stitches? :-|

The first thing i do is to remove the labels and i have on occasion managed to make a hole when doing it as some are sewn into the seam. :-(

It's my pet rant, too.

Trouble is I don't know what size bras to order cos there's no labels on them :-S

Yes it's annoying when they are sewn into the seam . I cut them as close as possible but you are left with a coloured hard strip where the label has been

Just as annoying were the bigger labels that were all floppy and someone would reach behind your neck to pop the label back inside. Saying I dont want to know your size !!!!

I don't understand why they put BLACK labels on WHITE garments...... right at the neckline!

:-P

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it - I don't mind unbuckling bras when I'm lucky enough to get the opportunity. But don't ask me anything about sizes.

Anyway, it doesn't really bother me much at that stage of high anticipation.

Printing on the fabric _ it washes out and fades, I find it hard to work out front and back on my rollneck tops!

Black print inside a white T shirt.......and it shows through. :-|

Dermot :-P ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Glad I'm not the only one,,,,not many of my clothes have a neck label in,,,,they are out as soon as they are bought.......use a hem unpicker you can get one from a craft shop.

all the labels in Leigh's washing pile say

if in doubt as mum to wash it :-D :-D :-D

Dermot did you master the one handed bra unhook. It's all in the finger and thumb! :-D :-D

so Dermot wears a bra?????? :-D :-D

My mum had a 'Dresser' in her kitchen in the 1950s & it had nothing at all to do with ladies undergarments.

No doubt some on here will have had a 'Dresser' in their home. Very popular they were in Wales too.

How many times have I dressed for the evening or occasion in something new and then exclaimed there would be absolutely no way I could endure said garment for a second longer.

The situation either finds me quickly hauling all my clothes off, messing my make-up and hair in the progress or my husband searching for weeny scissors and glasses in an attempt to cut offending sharp, prickly label out.

Then I'm all impatient as we see if his handiwork has resolved the problem.

It crossed my mind that the Oxfam/M and S scheme that offered a voucher when producing an M and S item of clothing when leaving items for sale in Oxfam shops would soon be coming to an abrupt halt, if it hasn't done so already! How many Marks items of clothing survive the label test I wonder?

Yes, how annoying when having cut the label out, one is left with two little black strips of fabric on a fine white or cream coloured cardigan.

Who are these people that make one's life so uncomfortable??

Yours,

Outraged :-P :-0 ;-)

well well well !

i bought a top from Asda today with no label, it was printed on the inside of the back material... :-D

I wonder if any of you would object if I printed this page and enclosed it with my way overdue letter of complaint to M&S head honcho complaining of their awful prickly labels made from recycled razor blades.
Do let me know if you are in agreement, or not, as the case may be. :-0

Do it Karen these big companies need to know customer feedback

I took part in a Facebook thread with M& S on them using so called larger sized ladies in their advertising . the consensus was they thought a 16 lady modeling was a larger lady

I complained WHY did their larger size summer tops / T shirts have such titchy sleeves as lots of us larger ladies have big upper arms too that we want to cover. Had LOADS of good on yers we agree with you , we want sleeves that flatter and cover our upper arms . the best length seemed to a popular just above the elbow .

M& S did reply and said they hadnt thought of it and would take it on board with their manufacturers. So customer feed back could be what they need

Go for it and also mention the long ribbon things for hanging items in wardrobe please.
