Just wanted to let you know about a new venture I have started in Newbury. I will be organising social events eg parties, pamper days etc for ladies who are a size 16+ and the men who adore them. It is often hard for bigger girls to feel comfortable socialising in regular venues so I am aiming to provide a size friendly environment where everyone is respected and welcomed. If you would like to attend one of my events please visit my website www.bbwsouth.co.uk and become a member (free!) to keep updated on the progress of my project, make new friends and maybe even find love!! Thank you for allowing me to put this out to some more people in Newbury. I have had such positive feedback so far and want to welcome as many people as possible. Kind regards Sarah

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Mar 4 2011, 12:21 PM) Perhaps a diet is in order? I don't mean to be rude but smokers are told to stop smoking so perhaps overweight people should stop eating so much??? Is size 16 over-weight?

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Mar 4 2011, 12:45 PM) Is size 16 over-weight? Not if you are married to her....... I suppose we should not really poke fun, as for many it is a serious issue, and diet is not the sole - or core - issue.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Mar 4 2011, 12:45 PM) Is size 16 over-weight? Yes. There BMI would probably classify them as obese. All I am saying is that overweight people are as much as a burden on the NHS as smokers but smokers pay extra tax and chubbers do not. Perhaps if you are clinically obese you should pay an extra tax on'fat' food?? I know this is not 'PC' but why are one section of society treated differently to others?

QUOTE (Rosewinelover @ Mar 4 2011, 02:00 PM) I can not believe how rude some of you have been in replying. Ever heard the old saying 'If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all'.
I would not class a size 16 as 'fat' or 'overweight' in most cases. TDH you really do have a thing about overwight people and the NHS.....find that really odd, considering it is probably more liklely costing the NHS more on helping drug/alcohol abuse than anything.
Good Luck with your new venture Sarah. TDH is a smoker I believe

I do not begrudge paying tax on it. I do however thing that smokers are treated as 'lepers' and that overweight people are fawned upon and told that it's not their fault by do gooders. They put the stuff in their mouths. Thats why they are overweight. This subject does actually 'get my goat' rosewinelover and I respect you. Again I ask Smokers more than pay for their diseases. A gastric by pass is still I believe free on the NHS if you are fat enough? In fact some people are encouraged to put MORE weight on to qualify.

I think you should start a new thread about this (if you wish) because I think this is really unfair to the ladies (1st ever) post.

QUOTE (Simon @ Mar 4 2011, 03:15 PM) What confuses me is that when a student posted on here a while back he received a lot of abuse about forums not being the place to promote/advertise his small business (copying video to dvd) and yet this posting has received nothing but support.
I have had a look at the website and this seems to be a business too
Is it one rule for one and one for another on here? The student was promoting a service that was possibly illegal.
