Marks and Spencer announced today that they have withdrawn the £2 surcharge they had applied to larger bra sizes. Although this gave rise to a new round of boob, bust and chest joke headlines in the British press, there was great concern that the store's change of heart meant they would no longer have an excuse to print hundreds of pictures of larger-chested women.
Daily Male journalist Percy Dribble told us "It's such a shame. We could have had months of these articles about bras, breasts, bosoms, tits and jugs and all the associated rhymes, puns and double-entendres. And every time we did a new story we could have included a close up piccy of a really big pair. But not in a gratuitous way."
The group campaigning for the change in Marks and Spencer's bra pricing policy have said that although they are pleased the company has backed down, there are still cases of discrimination against the larger lady.
Percy told us that if you know where to look on the internet there are many examples of big busted women being penalised.
