Just as-well then that I take an interest in this subject!

With all the 'Medical' Problems my DYW, has suffered, her Breasts were changing size every week, but loving Husband, got to 'Grips' with the subject, and is now a expert in 'measuring them' for the correct fitting Bra.

Biggest problem was the 'whole in my pocket'!

3to4 new "Bras" every week, left me,..'Penniless'!


Work out the 'Puns' for yourselves :DD

It also looks like that hat/bra combo you've been working on may need more work Chas. We get the impression it's a wee bit tight at the temples.

Well maybe if they go jogging in an elastic bra. This just had to be a major con job by Portsmouth Uni academics! Nice work!
