It's no easier here in Oz, Lynne. Fashion at the moment demands low-slung jeans with tight tops and rolls of flesh in-between. I have some jeans with lycra and don't like them as the fabric doesn't breathe, I won't be buying that fabric again. And they aren't quite high enough in the waist so I spend much of my time hitching them up. Whinge moan. A friend who worked for a charity for a while told me that they have so many jeans donated they don't even bother to try to sell them; most are just thrown out, even brand-new-still-have-the-shop-tag ones. Seems a great waste (waist?) to me.
