Just a quick unrelated to cycling topic.

1. My wife bought a dress
2. Label stated 'DRY CLEAN ONLY'
3. Dry cleaners accepted dress but warned verbally that sequins on dress may melt
4. Sequins DID melt
5. Wife in tears

What next :(

    Erm, is this a trick question?

    Dry cleaners always know best??

    Are you sure this dress was for your "wife", and not in fact for yourself, and it was indeed YOU that was in tears?

    I'm sorry, it's just the way my mind works. :wink:

    Ah, the classic 'I need a new dress' ploy but she can't justify the expense so sets you on a guilt trip after cocking up the dry cleaning. You now feel bad, so you buy a new dress, she's got what she wants and you're relieved.

    Only one thing for it now, BUY A NEW BIKE :lol:

    A verbal warning is not worth the paper it's printed on.
    Sue the dry cleaners for price of the dress and mental distress to your wife!
    Surely if they thought that the sequins would melt then they should not have undertaken the work.
    Just realised I started the last two sentences with girls names. Ha ha.
    Can we fix it?
    Yes we can!

    Where is the dress from? I would be going back to customer services and asking questions about why sequins are melting when you have followed the care instructions to the letter.

    Don't buy dresses with sequins on. They're probably sewn on by child labour.
