What would you change?

That they’d swap the glue they use for those price stickers you can’t scrape off with the glue they use for the resealable packs that don’t.

And print game instructions on the box lid instead of on a bit of paper that’s bound to go missing.

Definitely agree with the 10-12 and then 14-16 I want 12-14 and in a lot of shops it doesn’t exist
Also the tiny titchy writing on a lot of instructions

Please please please Anti glare ‘hole in the wall’ screens ...the other day I felt really old I had to ask a youngish man to take my money out for me as I couldn’t see a thing on the screen he even had a job took him ages he got my number box up I put my own number in and left the rest to him fingers firmly crossed he was honest and wouldn’t run off with my money but it was so faint and then the sun blazing on it made it impossible ( for me) and nearly impossible for him

So many women's clothing manufacturers assuming all women want to wear pink, blue and white!! I love the autumn colours (had my colours done years ago) and find it hard to get things

Disagreeing BettyBoop. Dont like the idea if cardboardhangers any better than the plastic ones. Maybe shops should go back to the big wooden hangers and NOT give then away with the clothes.
I remember years ago C&A getting rid of their big wooden hangers and they were given to the Girl Guides who sold them for funds. We had loads (mum was a guider) and they are still going strong in my wardrobe

When I want 1 red onion, I have to buy a pack of 3. The same with apples - I would like to buy 2 of different kinds but ... no ... they are all packed in 6s .... and on it goes. In Australia, for example, every type of fruit or veg is loose.

Just spent ten minutes trying to prise the plastic off a cucumber which I am trying to slice up.

I wish they would print the wording on shampoo/conditioner/bodywash containers in larger print - who wears reading glasses in the shower????

I'm tall.

Some shops do long lengths in trousers, skirts and dresses. OK that gives us a bit more choice. How about sleeves (jumpers etc.) ? Most tall folks have long arms as well as long legs.

I'd like to see sleeve measurements somewhere.

Big moan. Us Long Tall Sallys have lost our highstreet shop LTS and Next don't stock their tall range in their shops just online!

A lot of shops stock a petit range. Hello: there are tall women too. Wallis have just realised this.

I'm loosing the will to go and shop for clothes in town/cities. I feel like we're being chained to the computer to find clothes.

Where do your shop for your onion? I go into Morrisons and Sainsbury's and they sell loose veg and fruit.

Stop supermarkets selling food in plastic trays which do not have a recycling number on them. What is the point in saying "Consult local recycling" if they don't give you any details to consult about?

Magrithea, with you all the way on colours. Practically impossible to find anything other than pale sweet pea colours in summer. This very limited choice verges on discrimination against anyone not fair skinned and blue eyed. Also, so many tops sold from April onwards are sleeveless and tight fitting - few of us over retirement age look their best in these .....

Good ideas Mauriherb and BettyBoop49 and what happened to the brown paper bags we used to put fruit in. Some small independent shops supply them but not supermarkets.

Well with everyone turning to paper bags we d be cutting down more trees wouldn’t we ?
What’s wrong with it going straight into your bag like it used to

You can buy reusable mesh bags to take to the supermarket for your fruit and veg (Asda and Tesco sell them loose too) but they are quiet pricey.
I bought a couple of mesh bags that are intended for putting small items in the washing machine. Much cheaper and they do the same job.

Brunette10 Supermarkets have very detailed plans about what goes on which shelves – and where they go within the shop. The most profitable items tend to be shelved at eye level, whereas own brands and less profitable brands are less obvious on lower and higher shelves. Similarly, selecting standard items, such as bread and milk, involve walking to a far aisle past lots of other products that you may not have put on your shopping list but which can tempt you.

I would like to see ladies trousers with the same length choice as men's. You have to search for a petite length, which is for 5'3 and under, which is a startling generalisation. Then everyone else!

I would wish for women's T-shirts to be brought down to the same retail price as men's.....why should we pay more, just because we have boobs?

I have had to have my medication put in a blister pack by the pharmacy weekly as i just could not press the pills out. Best thing i ever did.

Woodmouse49 I will pop into Asda for necessities: 1 red onion for salads. I did ask staff if they would open the package and sell me 1, no I had to buy the 3 .... I did without.

Pretty bras for us with large breasts that don’t have to come from a specialist shop and cost an arm and a leg ( I know- a range of body parts in the post!!)

Yes , you're right, I didn't think of that. I was just thinking about cutting down on plastic.

Asking for more choice in sleeve and trouser lengths (not to mention skirts and dresses which are styled in different lengths) will put up prices over all ranges.
There are far fewer tall women (over 5-9) than those between 5-2 to 5-8 incl so costs would rise. Similarly, petite would not cater for those women under 5ft.
It's just a fact of economics.
One of my daughters is 5-10 and just about manages to shop in High Street stores.
She can fit into some of the clothes especially trousers and jeans that I bought long to specifically wear with my heels, she wears them with flats or trainers.

Waitrose sell onions and most veg singly as well as in packs.

M&S have bras up to 42 and GG cup sizes.

...and Primark bras up to F.

Yes, GabriellaG54, M&S have larger bra sizes, but anything above a DD cup size has thick straps.

Likewise knickers: I buy a size 14 as I don't like them to dig in at all. In sizes 6 to 10 or 12, they have about an inch or two of cloth at the sides, anything larger it's 3 or 4 inches.
