    Wow, what a bunch of snowflakes. And
    As a 13-year-old, she writes, she felt "podgy and sad when I had to reach for a garment that was labelled with a number in the high teens".
    I can't imagine why anyone with a size in the high teens might feel podgy....

      Another non-story.

      Clothes sold in the UK will now have UK sizes.

        She can lose weight but she'll never overcome the indignity of being spotted shopping in Primark.

          It kind of makes sense, but then sizes are always approximate. I can often get into one jean cut style but not another.
          What I find quite annoying not being fat is finding jeans that fit quite well, but the waist is a couple of inches too big, often around the back door some reason?

            Why can't the UK switch to EU sizes?

              Do these jeans make my arse look big?

              No love, it's the cream cakes you shove down your throat that make your arse look big!

                  That will be a relief for schoolboys forced to wear skirts.

                    M&S and some other UK retailers have already adjusted their sizes to lower numbers.

                    Have you noticed that M&S also has convex mirrors to make you look thinner?
