.. pen for labelling school uniforms

Got three sets of stuff to label and I'm losing the will to live with the iron-on ones. Anyone know where I can get one of those pens so I can just write on the clothes instead?

    Also try pound shops- they sell them in one near me which is called a "99p" store. (dispite everything being £1 and not 99p!)

    Or if you know of any dry cleaners, they may have them.

    Or any haberdashery stores (places which sell buttons and zips and ribbons).

    Or even in the school uniform stores themselves.
