That confuses me (Irish) to no end. Because I was laid up recently, watching British day time tv and there was a debate about how fat your NHS nurses are. Apparently their average BMI is 30.6, compared to the “national average of 23.1”. That sounds somewhat reasonable, but then you find out the average female clothing size is a 16... Are there a lot of exceptionally thin men over there, to drag down the national average BMI into a healthy BMI range?! Because I can’t picture many woman who would be smaller than “fairly fucking fat” at a size 16.
