“I believe the measurements for articles of attire (including bras) in the UK are not the same as those used in the US.”

Check it out for yourself, there are differences, but a UK “JJ”, is the same thing as a US “N”. And the delta number is 14 INCHES in each case. This woman has a couple of “weapons.” That is if she can stand up long enough to “get into battle.”

… after complaints that their rigorous duties risked damaging their breasts.

Perhaps they should just admit that men and women are different and were never intended to do these rigorous duties in the first place.

I remember talking to women in the military 25 yrs. ago who told me the crappy quality of their GI underwear was one of their major headaches.

given all the money wasted by defense departments in the world, this is a reasonable request and not that costly. it’s why some soldiers don’t wear underwear in the field, just too uncomfortable. of course the hard part would be choosing the appropriate camouflage pattern.

We spend about £170 billion on benefits.

And whilst some of it goes to decent people entitled to benefits (genuine unemployed, the disabled, carers, child benefit for decent families), most of the workshy scroungers who get the rest are actually white British. Chavs/neds, what you’d call white trash.

Well yeah. Not sure how they'd fit. It would take 2 jocks for starters.

Nice.

We spend trillions, but we are far larger.
