Oh - dur!

I wore a new shirt today - 'straight from the packet' as they say.

My mother would always wash everything new before we could wear it, she said it had 'grease from the machines' on it - whatever that means. I'm funny about clothes and wash everything if it's been on for more than 5 mins, and often get changed 3 times a day.

Today I pushed the boat out and wore an unwashed shirt - it smelt lovely and new. When I got home and took my jumper off, it had an overwhelming odour of malt vinegar. Must have been the grease from the machines.
