To think H&M are anti British?

[maxiflump1]

A lighthearted AIBU.

So yesterday I bought this lovely tee shirt in H&M for my DS. When I got home however I noticed that they appear to have left the UK off the map of the world! Lots of detail of the outline of Denmark and Greece but no U.K (or Eire)

Just wondering if this is a sign of what's to come with Brexit?! Being left off by a European company? I've checked online and they are all the same so i don't have a duff one. DS asked where we live and I had to explain it wasn't on it. DH thinks I should take it back and get a refund!!

How odd!

Not surprised they left the UK off, but where is Ireland (fyi, its not Eire unless you are speaking in Irish)

The effects of Brexit are already here!

There are so many countries missing... Who the hell designed that and did they even consult a map??

They are a bizarre shop. I've just noticed that despite being the same size from h&m that ds clothes are much bigger than dd's

I also don't see Iceland, Ireland, Malta, Sicily, Majorca, Guernsey.... Need I go on?

For whatever reason they've omitted all the islands, hardly anti-British.

I get your point @LostInShoebiz but the U.K. and Ireland are considerably larger islands that the others you mentioned and this t shirt was being marketed and sold here and not on those other islands.

I have absolutely no doubt you'll fine that item on sale across Europe. And I have absolutely no doubt there is not a thread on Mamansnet bemoaning the lack of Corsica.

If you were really so concerned about the lack of Ireland you would probably have flagged that from the start and not highlighted any spurious link to Brexit (for which, I'm sure you are aware, Ireland has not shown any significant enthusiasm).

I said from the beginning lightheaded! Maybe I shouldn't have posted in AIBU though I guess....

Now if I’d read that article yesterday I could have looked in the big h and m up on the road on Tenerife for the t shirt.

Probably cost related. Costs more to put more white objects onto the background

Jesus Christ Showbiz, it's posters like you that are the reason MN has been ruined by the need to post 'lighthearted' on anything and everything.

That's a bit of a mistake!!!

And I have absolutely no doubt there is not a thread on Mamansnet bemoaning the lack of Corsica.
They'd not bother moaning online, they'd take some more drastic action...

H&M are shit and their sizes are completely random. YABU shopping there.

@BrazzleDazzleDay , would you not expect boys clothes to be bigger than girls? Different styles/cuts?

H&M are shit and their sizes are completely random. YABU shopping there.

Yes! I went in last month feeling great after losing 3 stone and being in a firm 10 in every shop in the world. Picked up a dress, tried it on, it was tiny. Picked up a 12, still too tiny. 14, too tiny. 16. Size 16 fitted. I was a bloody 16 3 stone ago.

But jumpers I can buy in an extra small. The clothes makers at H&M are drunk goblins.

Eh no I wouldn't stressed. I would expect a 3-4 or 2-4 of the same items but different colours to be the same size

Ah sorry @BrazzleDazzleDay I think I misunderstood what you meant !

Obviously this has fallen through a wormhole from next year and shows the map after the Russians have obliterated us. Ireland clearly is collateral damage.

No worries stressed

No. why would you?

I like that T-shirt despite the inaccuracy but cannot find it on their site. Do you have a link?

Well this is spooky @soulrider! Just gone on their website to find it but it's not there. It was last night! I have a 2-4 year old still with tags going

As I've already explained @sidewayswithatescotrolley , I misunderstood what the PP meant.
