Mine just asks you date of birth and confirms your appointment telling you to park your behind. No other questions. Strange a check in asks ethnicity!

I get strange looks when I fill in questionnaires and tick others for ethnicity as very few have English and I have never seen Lancastrian.

Mine today is the Victoria's Secret catwalk show. It's a spectacle, it's fun and yes their lingerie is fabulous although I doubt any of it would be very comfortable under bike leathers. My gripe is that the models are beautiful but oh so thin, all of them, ribs sticking out, hip bones on show, unnaturally tiny waists. Now I'm not some chubby bird who is jealous, but right now I can't eat properly and I'm the lightest I've been in years - and my ribs, collar bones and hip bones are all starting to show and ironically I keep being told how good I am looking!

It would be great to see some real women on the catwalk. Not obese, we need to encourage people to be slim and healthy, but sicking bits of lace and sparkles on these stick thin girls really doesn't give young women a realist idea of what a female body should look like.

Anyway, have a look at the photos, I'm sure the gents will disagree with me.

Well let's see what happens when you do get some normal women in the same outfits. The largest of these ladies is a size 18, bear in mind the average woman in the UK is a 16. That's the dress size of the lady in the dark red on the right.



And a similar campaign from Dove. It makes you realise just how skinny the Victoria's Secret girls are.

Yep keep it coming.
You're obviously not able to see that the female form is pretty dam attractive in all of its shapes and sizes.

I certainly dont find the girls in that Victoria secret pic attractive.They all look like they have done time in a concentration camp,and my reaction to them would be to offer to get them a curry.But who am I to judge at 15 stone odd?
