#1 Does anyone else see the trouble here ?
Busts and hips increased by 1.5" but waists increased by 6.5". Thats over four times as much.

Now, this may just be me, but growth in regions A and C, welcome as they are, tend to be diminished in their aesthetic value by growth of area B.

#2 I believe the relevant unit of measurement is the British Standard Handful.

#3 Let's hope the size of the average British male's hand is growing in proportion to, uh, that which it is intended to have a handful of. (Does that make sense?)

#4 In 1951 women wore girdles. Now we don't, thank goodness! But the result in measured girth for outerwear is obvious.

Or, as I tell my non-discriminating brother: "Yeah, she's got bigguns - she's fat!"

#9 I have read that the same pattern is occurring in the US. Speculation was that part of the increased bust size was related to general increased obesity, but that the 'disproportionate' increase in bust size might be related to the use of hormones in animal feed, transferred to people through meat, milk, eggs, etc.
