Robert Kilroy Silk,MEP and former talk-show host has accused Marks and Spencers for installing mirrors in womens changing rooms that allegedly distort the female form by making them look slimmer than they actually are. He came to this conculsion when his wife and daughter complained that when they bought the clothes at M&S they look fine in the changing room, but when they got the clothes home they did'nt look the same.

Silk, has raised this in the European Parliment and has called for M&S to be sanctioned under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. He has also written to M&S's chief executive, Stuart Rose, demanding that the offending mirrors be removed and apology be issued to all women. M&S have insisted that the mirrors in all its stores are "bog standard".

Its good to see politicians still have their fingers on the pulse...

Anyway if the mirrors did tell the truth what would men say when the "IS MY BUM BIG IN THIS" question is posed?

I thought Untruthful Mirror Syndrome was part and parcel of life.If you expect me to accept the truth, no thanks.

If its not right, I'll bring it back.

"Buy-Feel Suckered-Return" a noble ritual, and very enjoyable......

How come they only installed these mirrors in the womens changing rooms. What about us men that have also suffered this hurt and lowering of self-esteem.
