Who used to be called Tristram before the course of treatment.

Done the same with Fireman Sam, he's the Pontypandy fireman.

How very depressing that this is a first reaction! Eight ordinary women who all look confident and happy, in outfits that suit them. Five of them have perfectly normal figures, the others are a maybe little on the large size but so what? The one bloke has a fat belly and he's wearing a silly pink tie, but that doesn't get a mention.

I really did mean that their clothes were too tight. His isn't.

They look much better is the final scene where they aren't cut in half by the belts.

(off topic: does anyone else find alarming the site of fat men in much too large t-shirts? Like they are planning on putting on more weight.)

Mind you, without wishing to (but actually instantly doing so) derailing this thread into a discussion of the average figure, I maintain the following:

1) British people are getting bigger on average
2) Being outwardly unfair and discriminatory towards the larger-figured is decidedly un-British
3) So, we faff about telling people not to eat too much, and to do exercise, whilst
4) also pointing out that the average figure is bigger than the models in the adverts, but also
5) putting progs on telly (a la Gok Wan) encouraging the larger-figured to 'flaunt it', and be proud of what they have.
6) All the above applies mostly to women, because
7) You simply don't see programmes encouraging the larger-figured male to 'work that beergut, brother', and 'flaunt those moobs'.
8) Just sayin, like.

Sort of related, but even more OT...

You know those adverts for Jacamo clothing? That say they do all sizes from small to XXXL? They used to feature a bunch of chubby blokes and be voiced (I think) by Jonny Vegas (or someone who sounded like him). Now, they feature a bunch of 'normal' (IE, not chubby) blokes, one of whom might just about be described as a bit on the short side. Certainly none of them look like they'd be even XL, let alone XXXL.

Indeed the ladies all look quite happy, and curvy. I just don't think the dresses work well. But then I don't like to wear clingy stuff anyway. Or dresses at all.

thought I saw a chain ring tattoo at 1:42 but I was mistaken.

I'm afraid I went off them once they brought in Micky Mouse. Bloody Disney.

You mean Disney's Mickey Mouse!

[QUOTE 3326837, member: is 59"]I thought they all looked smashing. Hence my comment about their advert. It's kind of drawn me in to wanting to spend vast amounts of cash on specialised trips to Sri Lanka - but ONLY if it's via Thorne Travel. It's the reverse of all the glamorous crap they use to sell celebrity perfumes and other useless stuff on the telly. I don't even know if they are being incredibly clever and ironic (although I doubt it), but it's had the same effect.[/QUOTE]
I think the word you are looking for is honest.

just people and the company being honest. Love the cheesy bit at the end "hiya, pleased to meet you". Aww bless.

I'm actually a 'let it all hang out' kinda guy, but was just being honest about my initial reaction, which was... those dresses are too small.

A dress can never be the wrong size it's the women who are the wrong size.

Pathetic

A bit harsh on women who are to large for there dresses.
