I have had that exp. also but here in the USA; then in some shops I have found toddlers with sticky and dirty runny noses all over the fabric, I try not to go back to that shop. Once in a while I will if they are having a good sale but come home an put all in the washing machine right then. Then - I found one shop with a sign: All Children left unattended will be sold. Rudness in any shop -- I have been there twice; first and last--including Resturants and stores. Then I might go back a year later to see if its still the same. I spend $1000.00s each year on fabric but I don't look like I have any money, I dress clean and wear jeans being I live in the countryside.
