   I am under the impression that my daughter believes I do laundry for my own amusement. She is capable of wearing at least 4 different outfits in one day, and also uses the laundry basket as storage for things that don’t fit in her wardrobe.

   Hi Rachel:

   Ha-ha! I don’t mind the washing, it’s the post-wash sorting and folding that I find less than amusing.

   Thanks for visiting chickenmonkeydog and for the entertaining comment!

   But if it’s dirty, wash at 40 degrees? What is that extra 10 degrees going to do for you?

   Sorry, that should say “What are those extra 10 degrees going to do for you?”

   part of a two part set? shopping in bulk for trousers?

   @ Mark: A pair of trousers = A set of trousers. Same, yes?

   @ Liam

   I don’t think a “set” of trousers means a “pair” of trousers in this label, I think it means two “pairs” of trousers. To me that says that this pair of trousers came with another pair of trousers. Hence, Mark’s question:

   “Shopping in bulk for trousers?”

   Frankly, I am wondering what all those symbols mean. Something about a glass of water with 40 in (perhaps this is the British version of a 40 ounce malt beverage?) and putting extra “arms” into your tee-pee? I am not sure about the eye inside the box, or the creepy little alien figure, but clearly we are not to use circles.

   @ Mark -

   Oh! I owe you an apology. I thought you were digging on my choice of verbiage. I didn’t realise that you were wondering about the wording on the label. Oops! Sorry.

   Yes, the trousers were sold as a set: 1 red pair and 1 blue pair.

   @ Conall –

   Thanks for clarifying. Nice one, Mr Editor. Much appreciated.

    I’ll take it that these are UK trousers and explain the symbols They’re really boring, but these seem to be quite high maintenance trousers!
    In order from the right:
    Wash at 40 degrees. Do not use Chlorine bleach. Tumble dry low heat only. Iron on medium setting and finally, do not dry clean.

    Yeah. I have too much time on my hands. But after wrecking on load of washing, I always look at the labels.
