@Janice, it's the other way around.
In the shop a 14 is regarded as an S :D

Thanks for the recommendation Booo.

I have researched this and have kindly put together an international comparison guide for women dress sizes:

10: Normal
12: A bit plump
14: Podgy
16: Eight pinter
18: You've let yourself go love
20+: Lesbian

Well after losing one and a half stones over the last few months I can happily confirm that I am no longer a lesbian but have become an eight pinter and hopefully will soon be a bit plump!  :D

Good for you Marina :D

I'm surprised at this topic - where is the reply from the person who normally arrives to go out of their way to be offended by it??  ;)

Thanks Scunner!

Obviously only the ones of us with a sense of humour have read it so far!  ;)

Your post was meant as a joke (I think!) but I suppose somewhere along the line there'll be someone who doesn't see it.

Yes and no cheating by giving "under rop" waist size instead of "over rop!"

Oh it will come, CBF, a forum run by a guy who thinks anyone bigger than size 10 is socially unacceptable and really large females will never get a bloke so might as well become lesbians.

Some members will recall that after a topic about biscuits that went on and on, I changed the CBF heading to "CBF - Sponsored by Peak Freanes" and was accused of being a liar, deceiving members by claiming we were sponsored by companies that we actually weren't!!!

Don't forget to knock off an inch for every year over 50 to allow for natural shrinkage .:D

A few years ago we had a Japanese called called Miwako who stayed with us to study my business.  We went to the shops one day for her to buy her Mum a blouse.  She  told me her Mum was an outsize XL.  I asked her what size her Mum was and she told me she was a 14.  Apparently in Japan the women's clothes shops all have very small sizes  0-10 was normal, even a 12 was a big size to my Japanese friend. She told me the outsize shops in Japan start at size 14.  Miwako was really surprised to find that a size 14 was in all the regular size womens shops in Scotland.  Miwako was a size 10 an she told me all her friend though she was fat!!
