Fear of a fat planet
A problem that, up until now, had no solution:
British people perceive themselves to be much slimmer around the waist than they really are, research shows.
Experts fear that by failing to recognise their increasing girth some people may be missing a key warning sign of developing type 2 diabetes.
With tight trousers clearly providing no clue, help is at hand. I’m about to patent a device that will end the misery of Mis-perceived Girth Syndrome. It’s cheap, portable, easy to use and easily produced. I call it the Gauging Strip.
What’s that? We already have them? Then sodding use one.

So, are we to assume that the millions of pairs of trousers and pants that are sold every year are all too small to fit the buyers? Jeez! Anyone who’s bought a pair of jeans in the last few months knows to within a centimetre what size their waist is. More crap research which doesn’t stand up to the most basic scrutiny.
The Gauging Strip, that is great.
