It isn't only a UK phenomena; I've seen the same kind of thing in many other countries (Brazil, USA, Australia, South Africa). Anyway, the lady who does a brilliant job in keeping my place spotless for me is very grateful for all those T-shirts - she says all her neighbours think they are very cool. But now I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't have burnt them.
