    What size do you consider ideal?

    In truth, it's a very difficult question to answer. It depends on bone struture, where the size is and how it's carried. I've dated women of many sizes.

    edit: I've been googling and I agree with sss555s, size 12 to 14.

    On the small side....I got some amazing peices from Clothes show....like this for £40 I think (from £150) and they are great at 'older' men clothes......so avoiding that slightly 'man mutton' look.

    OH cleaned up on shirts, tees and a leather jacket...kept him going for the year and he will stock up again in Dec.

    You would very much like Stuart and his partner.....their 1st shop was in Brighton.

    I can't wear anything remotely like that unfortunately. I end up looking like the goodyear blimp

    This is gorgeous too

    There sizing is similar to Zara? I have to buy large in their jackets.
    Retail is the only therapy that works

    Is it worth going to the next interview?
    Well, I've said I will ... and, you never know what they really want. Quite often JD's are written by a committee and so are plumped full of "big words" when actually they are describing a monkey job.

    e.g. facilitating inbound communications in accordance with company procedures might just mean: Pick the phone up the second you hear it ring.

    I really don't do b0ll0x-speak.

    :)

    In my language, the job seems to be: a lot of writing and other stuff.

    :)

    I can write that stuff and it's online jiggery-pokery stuff too, which I am good at.

    If they don't give me the job, I can always find their competitor and spend a week promoting their competitor. Don't get mad - get Google #1 positions for all their keywords :)

    The men interested in talking about women.

    The women are interested in discussing clothes.

    One day there'll be a spaceship between Mars & Venus.

    I absolutely hate corp speak like the above.....I struggle with it too sometimes as am now dealing with the odd bit now and again.

    Why is there a need to make things sound more complicated or difficult that they really are?

    Good luck with it.....you never know, could be the one.:cool:
