For the past few years, nearly every t-shirt I've bought from Premier Man or Jacamo has the SAME fault - a collar finished with sandpaper and stitched with sharp wire (or so my neck tells me). We wash...

English kids will, at the drop of a hat, go into that singy-songy "nah-nah-nee-nah-nah" thing. What about foreign children? Do French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Hindu kids all have similar 'chants',...
