    A tax worth paying?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7501911.stm

    Marks & Spencer has defended a policy of charging extra on some of its bras that are bigger than a size DD.

    The High Street retailer said that the added cost - typically £2 - was "standard industry practice".

    M&S added it found most customers "were happy to pay a small premium for the specialist work" needed to make larger sizes of their bras.

    But the policy has drawn protests with 900 people joining a Busts 4 Justice protest group on the Facebook website.

    FFS, talk about a storm in a D-cup.

          Is that £2 extra per booby, or is it a 2for1 deal

                If they don't want to pay M&S the extra £2 then stop buying their bras. Simple - just dispense with the bras. If there was any solidarity in the female world, smaller jugged women should support this measure by getting rid of their bras also.
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!
