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 !!!!

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

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 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? :-|

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 ;-)
