Have to say I agree with you - I'm not keen on the FCUK 'play on words', and particularly distasteful at a child's party. Mandy (who tries hard not to be an old misery lol)

Hi Kim, My problem was not with the t-shirt particularly but with the fact that it was worn at a 4 year olds birthday party. There's a time and place for everything and I didn't think that was the time OR the place. Mind you I did see a girl of about 10 the other day wearing one saying 'If you think I'm a Bitch you should meet my Mother' What Mum in her right mind would let her child wear that???? Linda

My son wears them, but inspect what s on them, also Ted Baker, and such like. He is 12, I let him, so what does that make me look out to be? I think he looks good in them and I remimd everyone it stands for 'French Connection UK' as on any web site .uk! The rest you could have found on any t-shirt going back to the early 60's. Sorry to get on my hight horse, but some of the stuff worn in the 60's, 70's were far worse! Kim

It stands for, French Connetion UK, but i do agree it is not very tasteful for a designer label that is expensive i might add. Shirley Ann.

Pat - I know what you mean - they walk round so smug as if they've invented humour.

I can't bear those fcuk ones either - they all seem to be bought by people who think they are screamingly funny.

My grandson had a party for his 4th birthday in a hall and obviously some of the Mums and Dads stayed. One Dad turned up in a t-shirt saying FCUK Like A Bunny. I spent the whole time trying not to get him in the photos. What do you think? Linda
