A busy week on the Radio - with BBC Ulster twice, lovely Leeds once and a VERY EARLY start on Radio Newcastle this morning! {I am still catching up on my yawning for the day!}

Newcastle were covering the story that 1 in 5 women report that they have been sneered at or verbally abused by shop staff when buying clothes.

I am not even slightly surprised and I know you won;t be either - what is it with people - we are consumers too, why should we be expected to accept a low level of service because of our size - it's madness

I heard you on Radio Newcastle - and that's how I found out about this site.

I think it's terrible other people outing their predjudices against the fuller figure. All those skinny (sorry, anorexic) models look awful and are really just children. A woman needs all the bumps and curves she can get!

I've just had a baby 6 months ago and I breast feed him - so there's the answer to why we need all the curves!! It's mother nature!

PS - where to get trendy clothes??

hello Lessahlou,

Congratulations on your new baby (growing fast now though at 6 months i bet)
Have you had a look through the online magazine, we were lucky enough to be able to try a great variety of clothes for our fatshion feature and all the contact details are in the diamond directory.

Look forward to chatting more and getting to know you.
