The following article was written by one of our online consultants, read on and ponder.

 

My recent holiday was to make me rest and relax mostly. So as I had nothing to do I had plenty of time for people watching! Naturally from behind my sun-glasses. Have you ever noticed on holiday:-

 

1. It’s a problem being overweight on package holiday jets - the seats don’t allow for sideways spread!

 

2. More and more bars and cafes are having fixed seating. And no - the very overweight lady could not slide between the table and the seat! The seat was moulded for a small rear anyway.

 

3. The fat lady and the turnstile. She had to have the side gate opened so she could get in! She opened the buggy she had been carrying and pushed it through the gate - had she actually got any children?

 

4. The rather large lady sunbathing in a long line bra with armour plated side supports, wide comfort straps and all!!!

 

5. How about the size 18 lady in a size 12 elasticated waist skirt - put’s a whole new meaning to “ stretch to the limit ’’.

 

6. I know we would all like to be taller to help minimise the bulk, but why won’t overweight ladies give up on high heeled sandals on fat feet? Criss cross dented feet went out long ago.

 

7. It’s always the overweight people you see eating in the street. The slender ones seem to be able to last until the next meal.

 

8. Overweight parents usually have children who look exactly like them -overweight!

 

9. Overweight people have a greater surface area to get sunburnt on. The greater weight, the greater pain?

 

10. This always happens to me. The nicest, most interesting person I meet on holiday is always the person I least want to be seen standing next to. They always seem to be slim and trim. So I spend my time eyeing her bikini clad shape and wishing I had worked even harder at my diet, before coming away.

 

My last though, if I noticed all this about other people - what did they notice about me?
