This sounds like a fantasy, pure and simple. Very weird.

That said, many years ago when I was in my 20s and mumsnet-skinny, I was buying a bikini while backpacking in Thailand and asked for a size small. The women in the shop burst out laughing and said "No, you're extra large!" LOL. Rude. I was extra large compared to them mind you!

Friend of mine had the same in a clothes shop in Thailand. Was told they had nothing for her big size, when she said she was considered small in her country (under 5 foot, size 8 but big boobs) was told well you’re fat here 😆
 
Many years ago when I was a size 12 I was in a relationship with a man who regularly travelled to the far east on business. He always brought me back a nice present. One time on returning from Thailand he bought me a beautifully embroidered silk kimono type dressing gown. Wise man that he was he was quick to tell me that the size label said large because of the Thai sizing and he wasn’t trying to insult me. 😂
 
I was in Vietnam for a while whilst travelling back in the day, and in Hanoi there was a shop with a sign in the window saying 'we sell Western clothes in BIG GIRL sizes' - big girl sizes being 10 or 12. Proper big girl like me (14 on a good day) was advised to go to the Old Quarter and get something custom made. Rude!!!
 
Has anyone seen the thread about the DH who suddenly decided to get his upper arms tattooed?
Obviously there are plenty of comments about how tattoos scream “council estate and low income”, but this reply is a corker.

“Not nice if you go on nice holidays to decent places in France for example, or entertain classy dinner guests etc.”

Because everyone knows that no French person in history has ever, EVER had a tattoo. duck me backwards.

I don't believe that one. You can't get a load of intricate tattoos overnight. I don't have any, but my youngest sister has lots, and they take a lot of sessions to complete and are expensive. They are also miniature works of art. Oh and I have French relatives and at least one of them has a visible tattoo.

Oh he hasn’t had them done yet. He’s just thinking about it, the French hating bastard.

Why would he have his upper arms out while entertaining classy dinner guests? 😂
 
If anyone wonders why so many begging threads are started on Mumsnet, check out this one in S&B. OP has a mere £1.5k to spend on a bleeping handbag. I could buy a new car or go on an all inclusive sunshine holiday for that. She even talks about chucking another designer bag in the bin. I am tempted to tell her to get a lovely bag from Primark and give the rest of the money to me charity :D

I need a new everyday bag - black (probably) cross body
