I heard about this on the radio and thought Mumsnet would come up with some good ideas.

www.quibble.org.uk/

quibble is a campaign to fix overlooked public interest and consumer issues

Quibbles are low-grade nuisances that impact lots of people but don’t get fixed because they are seen as too minor… the Cookies banner on every webpage; redundant and excessive signage in public places; the light timings on pedestrian crossings; the frequency and quality of announcements on trains... there is a whole category of issues that we all just put up with in life, but if fixed would make a small difference to many.

Two loose criteria:

  1. It needs to impact lots of people (ideally, more than tens of thousands), or fewer people but on a very frequent basis (e.g. hundreds of people, daily or weekly).
  2. The person or entity who would fix the problem should generally be a public body or public decision-maker (e.g. a government agency, local authority, regulator, or the national government). This does not completely rule out quibbles on private products or services, as in some cases organised feedback or even regulation may be needed.

My quibble would be no standard sizing for women's clothing means you can never really know what size will fit until you try it on. Even listing inside length on trousers would be a small improvement.
