European sizes

This is a very personal post - apologies! European sizes drive me nuts as I can not understand them (my issue not the sizes themselves). Yet again I am sitting surrounded by clothes as I sort out the Dino Boys clothes as he has grown out of the next batch. Just as I have neat piles placed precariously about me I find a t-shirt sized 67cm - what does that mean? I think it is too small, do I get up and check an on line conversion char? Well the piles went flying and I checked - he has not worn it for a while as it is too small, aged 6 month. Must find the momentum again to resort the carnage and finish the job. Next I polish my halo!

further rant...why, oh why do sizes vary according to country? A size 1 in Italy seems to be the same as a six to nine month and in the uk and I put some 1 year trousers on the Dino boy (a fine figure of a future rugby playing fella) and they were so big he ended u streaking!
