Quick qu thread!

Quite often I have a fairly simple qu that doesn’t really fit in the Moan thread but doesn’t justify a whole thread of its own. So, here is a “quick qu” thread for all those random ponderings.

I’ll get the ball rolling.

Does anything know whether a charity shop can sell a coat that does not have a washing or fabric composition label? I have one to donate, but the labels were cut out as they flapped around and made the seam bulky. It also lacks a size label, but I assume that is not much of an issue as sizing is so all over the place these days as to be almost meaningless.

 

Can't answer your question, but I have one.
What's a qu?

 

I don’t know but if the coat was good quality I wouldn’t have thought it would matter.

 

I see where you are coming from, just like they can't sell furniture that has no labels regarding fire

 

You being all existential there, @pete?

 

I will ask my sister. She’s volunteered at one of the Save the Children shops for year (other charity shops are available)

 

Oh, thank you very much, @Butterfly6. I generally give to Age UK and they are pretty good about what they will accept. They carried on welcoming cassette tapes yrs after other charities refused these.

 

A qu is a short queue of three or less.

 

Thanks, @JWK. I think I will safety pin by own label on it. Machine wash, tumble dry.

 

Over here it is the size mark that is needed. You could simply marker in an S M or L below the inside collar and that would work?

 

Here size has become meaningless. You could be a 10 in one shop and a 16 in another.

I buy a Size 10 M&S trousers. I am the same dimensions I was 30 yrs ago and I used to buy a Size 14 or even 16 from them then.

 

Yes, our sizing is all vanity labeled too. I thought you had mentioned size in your original post because it was meaningful. My bad...

 

Three or fewer, mein herr.
