I refer to the news items Obese Children Partly To Blame For Uniform Shortage – Supplier (September 27).

First of all I think the title is very discriminatory; this was not the only problem because when my friend went to buy her daughter’s primary school uniform the excuse given was that she is too thin! Another thing that is very unfair is that Alex Calleja of Yorkie Clothing blamed disorganised parents. How dare he say that? We had been contacting the school since early July and the school’s reply was that the tender had been issued late and that they did not have any details.

Does Mr Calleja know that we spent a whole morning at Marsaxlokk primary school for nothing because the uniforms were not available and some things were still unavailable until Tuesday? Who is Mr Calleja going to blame for the fact that the colour of our uniform (St Thomas More College) was not the one it was supposed to be because Yorkie made a mistake with the dye?
