One day, women's clothing will use standardised measurements like inches or centimetres.

Going by the men I see at work there are a few different 34 inch waists in the world too:p
I've done the ironing, time for a wee run then studying - off out later with old workmates for something to eat then some dancing:D
Went for a wee walk last night with LM - here's a pic of the lovely sunset...

There's an alternative form of inches called "Porkies" as in:
"I told her I had a 34 inch waist."
"Imperial inches?"
"No, I told her Porkies..."skint_spice wrote: »Went for a wee walk last night with LM - here's a pic of the lovely sunset...
