Now if you'd done the washing for them instead of disappearing halfway round the world and deserting them the shirts would still be in pristeen condition, mind you, you've been getting away with doing jack for 20 odd years so why change the habit of a lifetime!!!!

It will be the water in the Algaves

fact

Cheers mate, i'm in the Algarve!! they're in Hull,

I had this problem twice. I washed it as they said and was very carful, I even washed it by hand in mild water and it still run colors. I got a credit note and was gutted. Not going to be buying another shirt if there in cotton again. Nice design but the material shouldn't be doing that, unless your buying your wash powder from east hull?

Wife washed it on a 40 in a standard coloured wash (hmm is that classed as racist in these pc days

) and no problems.
However his shirt was bought in the new year and not pre xmas.
