A Dunstable outsize menswear retailer has seen a rise in demand for trousers with 44? or 46? waists ? for secondary school pupils.
Big Stuff, in Queensway, has had requests for outsize school uniform style trousers for teenagers aged about 14 and upwards.
Owner Mick Radford told BBC Three Counties Radio: ?They can?t get their uniforms anywhere else. It?s quite sad.?
He said these young customers cannot find the sizes they need in High Street stores and supermarkets.
A radio debate ensued about the problem of childhood obesity.
NHS Bedfordshire told the Gazette this week that it?s estimated that there are more than 800 obese youngsters aged 12 to 16 in the Dunstable and Houghton Regis area.
