Ages ago, when I was going through a creative phase

I bought some special 'paper' that you could print off on your computer and then iron it onto a t-shirt, then peel off the back, hey presto! Obviously you need to invert the text prior to printing so that it is legible without the use of a mirror! However I still have those tops somewhere and they went through the wash quite a few times and came out super.

Now lets see if they still make the stuff.......

All over Scotland, I like the sound of that, much more of an event. Anyway, the t-shirt milarky - why don't we all just get dressed up as an animal and meet up - we'd hit the headlines anyway - say a gorilla or something

- much more creative than a t shirt!

Hi SS,

The word ROYAL was bestowed at Inverness show in 1948 by King George v1.
