  • This country's weird obsession with school uniforms. Grim.

    See also, the one and only shop in the town/city which sells the extortionate uniform with the required school emblem.

    see also, having to wear cotton shirts and trousers in June/July.

  • We just don't buy logo stuff.

    In fairness, we just don't buy new stuff.

    Almost every item of school clothing is from the second hand sales.

    Which kind of goes for all clothing. I love a good charity shop trawl.

    I've never 'got' - why people buy new clothes for small kids (although I obviously benefit from it down the line).
