A weighty topic

It's official. UK women are heiffers!

(Compared to Singaporeans)

I know this because I am a UK 10 (fairly small) but once again this week found I could not fit into a Singaporean XL!

Then there's recent LSHTM* data put out by the BBC showing that the average BMI for a female like me in the UK is 26.87, while it is a tiny 22.19 in Singapore (below the global average). People here are on the slim side compared with Europe.

So I was a little surprised to see this interstingly branded outlet over here. When is says 'weight management' perhaps they mean 'helping locals increase their weight to be like Londoners'?? Though I kinda doubt it!
