The shop was called FOSTERS and, yes, I felt very uncomfortable there too but the Levis were so darn cheap. The Levis were 'seconds' though with the red tabs cut off. You could always stitch a complete red tab from your worn out 'first Levis onto the seconds and voila: a normal looking pair for less than half the price ! Luckily, I fit standard Levis so the guy never had to do any alterations (phew !) but I always thoroughly had the jeans washed returning home ! I daren't touch anything in that back room, mind ...

    • Good luck with this - it is getting harder than ever to do an infant observation, I did mine at a local nursery as I needed to observe a child from 9 months - 3years. Mine was weekly for 3 months, It is surprising what you can observe during that one hour. I continued to use my observational skills throughout my 21 year professional career, After I retired, I returned to University and trained as a Practice Educator and went on to have 5 students and encouraged them not just to listen but to observe their 'clients 'body languages/ environment/ relationships with others. I would urge parents/caregivers to participate - you will be surprised how much more you will understand about your child and their development,

    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
