Quick qu thread!

Big sister says labels don’t matter although though easier to sell with labels as people “like” them. But anything without they usually estimate the size and put it on the charity shop label. Lots of things come in with the care labels cut off and doesn’t seem to bother anyone.

 

Splendid! Thank you, @Butterfly6. I have used a safety pin to attach instructions (machine wash, cool tumble, do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry clean, covering all possible bases ) in a little plastic bag.

 

I agree about the soft furniture issue - perfectly good 2 seater sofa but no Fire label and the charities declined. I can see their reasoning on this in a way as not everyone is always very careful about possible fire hazards in the home..........hence the continuing fires caused by people charging electric scooters and such like indoors.
Can't see a problem with lack of sizing labels on clothing tho - just try it on and see if it fits
Food banks can be somewhat annoying - tend to be very picky about what they will accept. Anything "out of date" is often refused just on that basis alone rather than using a bit of common sense.

 

Many years ago I saw a programme about a terribly posh lady who was described as a 'society hostess'. Basically throwing parties all the time. He nickname was 'Bubbles' but whether that was due to her personality or shape was never disclosed. They were going through her wardrobe and she happily showed that all her clothes were size 10. As she said, all her clothes were made for her so she would decide what size was on the label. Great character.
