    There's a few ticket conductors on my train into and out of Cardiff who are larger than average, but one who has the most enormous gut ever. I often wonder if he bothers trying to do his job when people have to stand in the corridors as all the seats are taken (which is more often than not).

    Couple of times I've been sat down and had his gut perch itself on my shoulder whilst he squeezes past someone. It's a great test of supressing the intense vomit reflex...

    Edit - They also use more soap. Allegedly.

    There is a programme about real lumps coming shortly to Channel 5.

    Looks so disturbing that i dont think i will be able to watch. :shock:

    These boys n girls are defo not employable as they are bed ridden due to their sheer mass.

    well as someone who used to weigh 30st and held a full time job....i would say no, but then thats just me, also never had much in the way of sick days no more than anyone else, was never at the doctor, been more since loosing over half my bodyweight so does being 14st now still make me fat.....the thing to remember there is a lot of stigma attached to those that are overweight, many like i was are still able to contribute to the workplace just as good as anyone else and in fact less lazy than some of their slimmer colleagues...just my experience and opionion though :)

    If airlines charged by combined weight of passenger and luggage, would this be 'exploitation' ?

    No it would be 'fair'.
    I'm around 70Kg, it never seems just to me that I'd get charged if my luggage is 1 kg overweight whilst some bloater gets away with carrying my weight of lard on with them.
    Capt Slog - with you 100% on this one !

    It might be fair if they used Airline employees to carry them onto the plane like they do with luggage.
