Where's that?

It’s the opposite with women’s clothing, so Mrs Mottie tells me. It’s called 'vanity sizing'.

"Size inconsistency has existed since at least 1937. In Sears' 1937 catalog, a size14 dress had a bust size of 32 inches (81 cm). In 1967, the same bust size was a size 8. In 2011, it was a size 0. Some argue that vanity sizing is designed to satisfy wearers' wishes to appear thin and feel better about themselves. This works by adhering to the theory of compensatory self-enhancement, as vanity sizing promotes a more positive self-image of one upon seeing a smaller label".

Are sure? USA (Ladies) sizes is different to UK sizes - a UK 14 is a USA 10. Basically for USA size subtract 4 from the UK size.

That's a new view of a builders bum.

I know, I was so embarrassed that the label was sticking out.

Don't you ever take them off

Can’t get them off, they’ve been on for 30 years, if I took them off they would disintegrate. I’m not made of money to waste it on new boxers.

Something you ate?

They shrink with every wash. I usually have to replace them all every couple of years when they get too tight, with the same size as before but they're noticeably bigger when I do.

I like the bit where you get a hole in them and your balls hang out and tickle on your trousers.

I shared too much again didn't I?

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

I told the missus that the size on mens undies is todger size, not waist size.

Ahh, it was only a bit of craic.

Vanity sizing again. Mrs Mottie has been looking for a pleated skirt - they are back in fashion apparently. The one she has had her eye on is £159. When she was out today, she saw an original retro pleated skirt in a charity shop window so she bought it. For a fiver! Point is, it’s from Mark's when they used the St Michael label so she reckons it’s from the seventies. 100% wool and lined which according to her, a lot of things nowdays aren’t. She says the quality is superb and she knows a thing or two about clothes as she's a bit of a sewing bee and sometimes makes her own clothes. It’s a size 14 and it fits her perfectly. Nowdays, everything she buys is a size 8! It just illustrates how sizing has changed over the years.
