I had it confirmed yesterday that you ladies do indeed have a difficult time finding clothes in the right size.
I went shopping with my daughter and she had a nightmare finding the clothes she wanted in a size 8

Isn't that common knowledge?
I know at least twice in the past 10 years I have seen newspaper reports about the redefinition of sizes. Given how little interest I have in dress sizes (I judge girls on personality and dance ability [but I only talk to or dance with the attractive ones ]), if I've seen articles about changes in definitions of dress size, surely every girl in the world has also seen them.
What makes me Grumpy?
People who check their mobile phones for messages whilst talking to me. How rude.
And don't get me started on people that answer their mobile phones whilst being served at the checkout in Tesco. Now that is really rude.

I still have a pair of size 10 trousers from the 1970s that I keep for dressing up. They still fit perfectly. However, I now have to buy size 6 trousers and they are loose and not a very good fit.
Sizes have definitely changed in the last 30 years.

Oh Daisy this made me giggle, coz in my wardrobe I have all kinds of sizes that I have been in the last 30yrs ....I really must have a sort out
I went to M&S today and I could fit into a coat that was two sizes smaller that the trousers I was wearing and had bought last week. Another shop I like is Dotty P's coz their dresses have curves in them.
if you love the life you live then you'll get a lot more done
Can I have a grump about men who stinks at giving handshakes.
You know what I mean girlies, those softie softie handshakes which feels like the man thinks your hand is a rotten banana which if handled with any sort of preasure will explode like a hand granade.
Yuk yuk yuk, weak handshakes gives me the shiiiiiiivers.
Give me a nice firm one any time
Cards that state the bleedin' obvious. I've just signed one at work for a colleague who is about to go on maternity leave. It says in huge letters:
You're Leaving to Have a Baby!
She's 8 months pregnant. I think she might have noticed by now
grump grump
Stupid Mr Central Heating didn't leave enough space to get the newly delivered washing machine into the garage where it shall spend it's useful life, despite leaving me instructions on how to hook up the pipes etc....so I have 3 weeks worth of washing, a brand new machine and tons of frustration!
grump grump
Long story, so I'll stick to the bit that made me grumpy -
People who text, chew gum and smoke all at the same time, whist ignoring their unruly children.
Don't read two consecutive posts too quickly or they run together in your head..
My pet peeve for today... BAGPIPES !! Sorry I may be a Scot (only just) but I hate bagpies.
My IT support guy has taken to playing (sorry PRACTISING) his bagpipes EVERY Lunchtime in the car park to practice.. it's driving me to distraction

Just took a pair of plain black trousers to the drycleaners to get a new zip put in.
15.98 + 2 quid for the actual zip
If thats not taking the mickey I dont know what is
Grump grum grump
Could you actually do it yourself? I could, but I hate doing alterations/mending things.
Would probably take 30-40 mins to put the zip in (takes me about 20 when making something from new, but you have to remove the zip first when replacing, obviously). After VAT, tax and NI, they're not really getting paid that much per hour...
