A school uniform shop in Arnold has hit back after a mum claimed her son wasn't measured up properly for a pair of school trousers which were 'ridiculously large'. Lauren Corkhill, 31, said she had spent around £180 on her 11-year-old son's uniform ahead of the new academic year.
She explained she and her son Josh Hallam went into the Just-Schoolwear store on High Street in Arnold at the beginning of August for measurements. Her son was measured up but didn't try on a pair of trousers in the shop. Ms Corkhill explained the policy was to order online - and she said she paid for two pairs of trousers which came to just under £20 each.
But she claims shop staff made an error and measured Josh at 38 inches around the waist and 34 inches at the leg, and the trousers, which arrived in time for the new term, were too big for Josh. "Even on the tightest adjustment they were massive, ridiculously large. A belt did not help either," she added.
