Ick - don't they realise how hot children get? What fee does the school

pay this co.?

We have a local place that will embroider any design onto 100% cotton

jersey - you take it along and they scan it and repro. They will do one

or two or two hundred. Anywhere like that near you?

I agree. will be starting nursery and the head mentioned the

school stuff - polo shirts/sweatshirts etc (whilst emphasising that

it is not at all compulsory) The school logo is rather sweet - no

crests, a smiling child with thumbs up - and I like the colours - and

I think it could be useful at least when they go out of the school

premises on trips, so I was quite keen - but same polycotton problem

:-( (DH has similar feelings about polycotton to religion!)
