Mindfully Made

 




A very useful label attached to a garment purchased by Mrs H this morning.


Useful because we always do our best to avoid anything mindlessly made.

Your wife can claim it's Madefully Mine.

Was her mind fully made up when she bought it?

A clever way of saying "no refunds"...

dearieme - ha ha.

Sam - it was fully made up - it looks good and it was cheap.

I think the same whenever I read that some food has been made of "specially selected ingredients".
Not just thrown together with whatever was left in the market at the end of the day.

Craghoppers! I still like their Kiwi trousers, you have to balance the off-putting 'mindful' crap against finally —it's only taken about 20 years— getting the zip on the cargo pocket right. Now if they could just make the pockets a little deeper, as they used to be, so things didn't fall out when sitting down, and get a proper choice of colours back in stock, and a slightly more robust fabric… they would be near perfect again.

Doonhamer - we also smile at "specially selected ingredients". Specially selected for what? Cheapness?

djc - I always go for zips on walking trouser pockets for that reason, things falling out when sitting down. The walking trousers I usually wear are Craghoppers I've had for years - cheap but they dry quickly and won't wear out. I don't know why colours are so dull though - there is no great incentive to think about a new pair.

I always wonder about the wording on Coke bottles ---- "original recipe".
What could that mean?

Shvatio - if true it ought to mean that it still contains cocaine. That can't be true though, MPs and celebrities would be drinking it by the gallon.
