that was a joke! I had a look at the SSAFA shop

SSAFA Merchandise Store

am not sure I am stealing their trade though...they have two t-shirts for kids

I looked at it.
Personally I wouldn't buy anything from there. Price mainly, but the designs are pretty crap too.
I'm a H4H's girl I'm afraid, and I'll keep going back there and buying their stuff, its good quality and goes to a very good cause.

Bitch!

Primarni do a men's t-shirt that says something along the lines of

"Stop your tits staring at my eyes'

It's a good idea but I don't buy 'military based' products from anyone who isn't a charity. I'm a help for heroes girl in the main as well mostly because any profit they make goes straight back into the charity and i likes that idea!

Maybe if it's a non-committal thing maybe you'd be better off focusing solely on bespoke items. Advertise that you can make personalised clothing for any event, or need. You could tap the hen party market or even leaving do's on Hagar's base and then you wouldn't be stepping on anyones toes either.

Thanks for the feedback. The money from the trading side of H4H pays for the operating costs of the charity - the overheads and the staff salaries, etc, then the profit if they make it then goes back into the charity.

The hero theme is more generic than just military - I was trying to do something positive that people may like other than my dad is an asshole or I am a slave to the dishes, and all men are wankers. I don't do fluffy very well.

You'd be surprised how many people don't do fluffy. I used to go to a shop that sold slogan t shirts ranging between £5 and £10. I had 'This bitch bites back' 'fedsex- friendly overnight service guaranteed' one with a pic of a rooster on that said 'nothing like a big cock to wake me up in the morning' and I even have one at the moment that says 'I may not be miss right but I'll fuck you til she comes along' Admittedly I've never had the courage to actually wear the last one but I had to buy it anyway lol

Definitely food for thought - I keep having a fiddle with it. I have added some new products and deleted a few. As always feedback welcome. Not quite ready for a 'A Big f8ck you!"

TLC if you want that T-shirt - let me know and I'll do it for you.

You know those carrier bags that say 'I'm not a plastic bag'? I'd like a hoody that says 'I'm not a regimental hoody'.

I have one that says "I hate people" but I haven't had the guts to wear it yet

I have one that says "These are not the boobs you're looking for. Move along" It cost £9 from a shop on Ebay - percentage profits went to charity - and has washed and worn incredibly well. For £18, I can have more than 1 babygrow made up to spec so AMMM, I'd rethink a lot of it. No overheads is one thing but people can get their own t-shirts printed up for a tenner...they wouldn't need to go through you.

Your wish is my command. I have just been approached by a Californian t-shirt company to run a competition for any slogan on a t-shirt. I will sort it out in the NY, when I have restored the post Xmas Armageddon and also celebrated my 40th - which is tomorrow - eeking the last of it out of Xmas season!
