A WOMAN with natural G-cup boobs has slammed the ”old women” who allegedly always give their unnecessary opinion about her chest.

Brunette beauty Hannah Zaslawski, 30, took to TikTok to rant about the unwanted attention she receives from older women when out and about.

According to Hannah, from Australia, she refuses to wear less daring outfits wherever she goes – and others should simply accept the fact that this is what her body is naturally like.

”Not gonna lie, I need old women to stop having an opinion about my t**s. I’m just existing – this is my body.

”Yes, I have big t**s, this is just who I am. I’m not going to wear a high-neck shirt wherever I go.”

She went on in the video: ”Stop looking. If it offends you, don’t look.”

The furious Aussie also noted how if she had smaller boobs, she wouldn’t have to deal with the same daily problem.

”But because I’m a G-cup, it’s a f***ing issue,” said Hannah who reckoned her slinky vest wasn’t ”offensive”.

According to the 30-year-old, who’s on a mission to go on 50 first dates this year, random older women will always look her up and down at the supermarket.

”Every single time,” she moaned, urging strangers to ”get over it”.

She joked in the comments: ”But I’ll be honest, I prefer the old woman looking than the old men.”

Since being posted on the platform, where Hannah regularly shares content under the username @hannahzaslawski, the clip has taken the internet by storm.

More than 13k people out of the 163k viewers gave the video a like, as 320 flooded to share their thoughts – and best comebacks.

One chuckled: ”I mean you probably could of chosen a smaller pair of boobs when you went out.”

Fellow bigger-chested women revealed their experiences, with one writing: ”I’ve had this, some girl commented on my t-shirt (similar to the one she was wearing) with “it’s a bit… booby” with a judgmental look.

5 clothing mistakes women with big boobs make

Do you have DD+ boobs and struggle to find clothes that fit?

Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend has shared her top tips on clothes to avoid if you have a big bust.

1. Say no to the polo

High necklines such a roll necks are to be avoided if you have a fuller bust. Closed chests and necks make your boobs appear bigger and can sometimes give you the dreaded uni-boob.

Try wearing V-necks, sweetheart, off the shoulder or scooped necklines that elongate the look of your neck and decolletage.

2. Bigger isn’t better

Frills, draping and excess fabric to cover your boobs only makes them look bigger. They make you look too top heavy and add unnecessary bulk on your top half which distracts from your face.

Instead keep things clean and simple with sleek fabrics and designs with open necklines.

3. Skip slogan tees

Slogan or printed T-shirts are having a moment with fashion fans falling over themselves to get Ganni Tees, or their high street dupes.

The key is to make sure you’re not buying a top with thick, heavy paint plastered on as the print. These will stretch over your fuller chests and split, resulting in a messy look and a ruined T-shirt that’s now a waste of money.

4. Avoid crop tops

Tops that are shorter in length or crop tops should be swerved if you had a big chest. You’ll find you spend most of your time pulling it down and also it messes with the proportions of your body.

If you have a big bust and a crop top on, they cut you off in the middle, which makes your bust look even bigger and in worse cases give the illusion that your chest meets your waist.

A longer top (including anything from a T-shirt to a jumper) will create the right proportions.

5. Body-wrong

Straight or tight fitted dresses are brilliant at showing off your figure. However if you have a big bust that isn’t in proportion with the rest of your shape they’re a no-go.

If you have a fuller bust you can create balance and a defined hourglass silhouette by wearing A-line dresses or skirts.

”Girl, I’m a J cup. everything I wear is BOOBY.”

”Ahh yes I was told at my job to wear a higher neckline, meanwhile girls with a b cup literally in triangle corset tops!” someone else was fuming.

”I have H cups and share the same frustration as you. It’s like, how dare we exist with large chests!” a third commented, before revealing her go-to method to make the remarks disappear.

”I call them out now. A simple “excuse me??” is usually enough to make them back off.”

”If I look it’s only because I have none,” a smaller-chested viewer wrote.

High street discounter with 187 stores to close branch in HOURS in blow to town centre

2 weeks ago Blogs Comments Off on High street discounter with 187 stores to close branch in HOURS in blow to town centre

SHOPPERS at a discount store with almost 200 branches have been left gutted as another branch closes for good after today.

The Original Factory Shop (TOFS) is shutting its branch in Great Harwood in Lancashire tomorrow (February 28).

T58HJN The Original Factory Shop front entrance in Rustington, West Sussex, England, UK. — The Original Factory Shop is closing a store in Great Harwood

Disappointed fans have spoken out about the closure of the “lovely” store, which they say has “amazing” staff.

Commenting on a social media post confirming the closure one said: “Such a loss to our little town, not only the store but the most amazingly helpful, hardworking, friendly, dedicated team of amazing staff.”

Another said: “Sorry to hear it….it’s such a lovely store to potter round.”

A third added: “Great loss to Gt. Harwood and surrounding area.”

A spokesperson from TOFS said: “We can confirm that sadly we will be exiting our store in Great Harwood on February 28, after the landlord served a break to end the lease of this store early.

“We are working hard to support the colleagues that will be affected and are seeking to redeploy them across our business.”

In the run-up to the closure, the store has run a clearance sale with up to 50% off prices.

After today, the discount store’s nearest branch for shoppers in the area will be in Clitheroe – around six miles from the closed shop.

This closure is down to the landlord ending the lease.

However, but there has been speculation around the future of the wider business.

After an ongoing search, the owner of Hobbycraft has now snapped up the chain.

And for now, all shops are open for business as usual.

The brand currently trades from 187 stores across the UK.

However, TOFS has shut 10 of its shops over the last 12 months and these were located in:

Brightlingsea, Essex
Bodmin, Cornwall
Chepstow, Wales
Fakenham, Norfolk
Harwich, Essex
Mildenhall, Suffolk
Padiham, Lancashire
Taunton, Somerset
Deal, Kent
Haverfordwest, Wales

Last year wasn’t the first time TOFS has been on the market.

In 2023, current owners Duke Street Capital, who’ve been at the helm since 2007, tried to sell up through Deloitte, but no deal was struck.

Back in 2013, the chain was valued at over £100million, but more recent financial results showed a dip in both revenue and profits.

The business ended the year to March 2023 with a pre-tax loss of £286,000.

Despite the closures, the retail chain also opened 27 stores in 2024 and still has plans to continue its “store transformation” programme this year.

Here is a full list of stores that have opened since August 2023:

Kirkintilloch – opened August 24
Stonehaven – opened August 31
Blandford Forum – opened August 31
Haddington – opened September 7
Wetherby – opened September 7
Nairn – opened September 14
Ashbourne – opened September 14
Castle Douglas – opened September 21
Penrith – opened September 21
Inverness – opened September 28
Attleborough – opened September 28
Ayr – opened October 5
Ringwood – opened October 5
Perth – opened October 12
Lanark – opened October 19
Peterhead – opened October 26

HISTORY OF THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHOP

FOUNDED in 1969 by the Black family in Keighley, the first shop was part of Peter Black's retail network.

Initially, it focused on selling surplus soap produced by one of Black’s factories, offering local communities great value.

Over the years, TOFS evolved from its humble beginnings, expanding its product range to include clothing, homeware, beauty products, toys, and more.

It became known for offering a diverse selection of well-known brands at discounted prices.

The company grew steadily, reaching 185 stores by 2011 and expanding its headquarters and warehouse in Burnley to accommodate its increasing needs.

In 2007, the chain was acquired by private equity firm Duke Street Capital.

Since then, TOFS has undergone various transformations, including store closures and openings, as it adapted to the changing retail landscape.

What else is happening on the high street?

High street retailers have struggled in recent years as shoppers increasingly turn to online retail.

High energy costs and business rates have hit retailers hard.

This has left some businesses grappling with budgets and having no choice but to close stores to cut costs.

Many Brits have turned to second-hand outlets such as Vinted and eBay, making things even harder for charity shops.

Several well-known major brands have fallen into administration including Wilko and Paperchase.

Last year, Homebase said it would put 74 sites up for sale after it crashed into administration.

A deal was then made to sell the business to retail group CDS, which owns bargain chains The Range and Wilko.

This secured the jobs of 1,600 employees and 70 stores – all of which are set to be rebranded as The Range shops.

Why are retailers closing shops?

EMPTY shops have become an eyesore on many British high streets and are often symbolic of a town centre’s decline.

The Sun’s business editor Ashley Armstrong explains why so many retailers are shutting their doors.

In many cases, retailers are shutting stores because they are no longer the money-makers they once were because of the rise of online shopping.

Falling store sales and rising staff costs have made it even more expensive for shops to stay open.

The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury’s hike to employer NICs from April 2025, will cost the retail sector £2.3billion.

At the same time, the minimum wage will rise to £12.21 an hour from April, and the minimum wage for people aged 18-20 will rise to £10 an hour, an increase of £1.40.

In some cases, retailers are shutting a store and reopening a new shop at the other end of a high street to reflect how a town has changed.

The problem is that when a big shop closes, footfall falls across the local high street, which puts more shops at risk of closing.

Retail parks are increasingly popular with shoppers, who want to be able to get easy, free parking at a time when local councils have hiked parking charges in towns.

Many retailers including Next and Marks & Spencer have been shutting stores on the high street and taking bigger stores in better-performing retail parks instead.

In some cases, stores have been shut when a retailer goes bust, as in the case of Carpetright, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Paperchase, Ted Baker, The Body Shop, Topshop and Wilko to name a few.

What’s increasingly common is when a chain goes bust a rival retailer or private equity firm snaps up the intellectual property rights so they can own the brand and sell it online.

They may go on to open a handful of stores if there is customer demand, but there are rarely ever as many stores or in the same places.

The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year.

Top UK airport’s £2.2 billion expansion ‘to get green light’ with hopes for 100,000 extra flights

2 weeks ago News 1 Comments Off on Top UK airport’s £2.2 billion expansion ‘to get green light’ with hopes for 100,000 extra flights

GATWICK Airport’s £2.2billion expansion is set to get the go-ahead – paving the way for 100,000 extra flights a year and boosting Britain’s economy.

Ministers are backing the project despite initial opposition from planning chiefs, with Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander expected to approve it.

The Planning Inspectorate had raised concerns over how passengers would get to the airport and when noise mitigation measures would be introduced.

But instead of rejecting the proposal outright, it has suggested minor tweaks to address those issues.

Gatwick has been given until April 24 to respond – with hopes that planes could take off from a new runway before the end of this Parliament.

A Government source said: “The Transport Secretary has set out a path to approving the expansion of Gatwick today following the Planning Inspectorate’s recommendation to refuse the original application.

“This is an important step forward and demonstrates that this government will stop at nothing to deliver economic growth and new infrastructure as part of our Plan for Change.

“Expansion will bring huge benefits for business and represents a victory for holidaymakers.

“We want to deliver this opportunity in line with our legal, environmental and climate obligations.

“We look forward to Gatwick’s response as they have indicated planes could take off from a new runway before the end of this Parliament.”

The key sticking points in the revised plans include how many passengers will use public transport.

The Planning Inspectorate wants a legally binding target of people arriving by train or bus.

But Gatwick bosses argue this is unrealistic, as they don’t control the rail network.

They have also pushed back against demands to implement all noise mitigation measures before the new runway opens, saying they need to phase them in to help fund the project.

It comes after Ms Alexander told an industry event she had no intention of “clipping anyone’s wings”, adding: “I am not some sort of flight-shaming eco-warrior. I love flying, I always have.”

The Cabinet Minister also argued the Government’s plan for change depended on “aviation’s success”.

She went on: “But that growth depends on us running as fast as we can towards cleaner aviation… For us here tonight, that means running hell for leather towards greener and quieter flights.

“I therefore see both decarbonisation and modernisation, above all, as a moral mission.”

The £2.2 billion project would see Gatwick’s northern runway shifted 12 metres further north, allowing it to operate alongside the main runway.

Ministers insist the expansion must align with climate targets, but believe quieter aircraft and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will help cut emissions.

But green campaigners blasted the decision as “unbelievable”, with activists warning of a legal battle over noise, pollution, and pressure on local infrastructure.

The Sussex airport could handle an additional 100,000 flights per year if the Government waves through its development consent order.

First look at Center Parcs’ plans for new UK resort with woodland ‘zones’, indoor waterpark and 700 lodges

2 weeks ago News 1 Comments Off on First look at Center Parcs’ plans for new UK resort with woodland ‘zones’, indoor waterpark and 700 lodges

NEW plans have revealed what to expect from the huge new Center Parcs resort opening in the UK.

Revealed last year, the £400million resort will be on the Scottish Borders.

There will be six lodge ‘zones’ as well as areas for woodlands and dining locations[/caption]

And new deigns have revealed the layout of what the park could look like.

Six designated lodge “zones” will be home to the 700 accommodation lodges with a range of woodland cabins and treehouses.

The woodland areas will have new pathways and roads, as well as a wildflower meadow.

The website states: “Our newest location will include everything you love about a Center Parcs break, with one big, exciting difference – this time, we’re planning to create our own woodland by planting thousands of new trees.

“The site is currently open grassland, which we’re hoping to transform into thriving woodland to create a rich, natural habitat where wildlife can flourish.”

And the designs include a heritage and activity zones as well as dining areas.

Center Parcs’ chief executive Colin McKinlay said: “The unveiling of this zoning plan marks an important first step in bringing our vision for a Center Parcs village in the Scottish Borders to life.

“This early-stage plan provides a foundation for thoughtful development, ensuring that environmental, heritage, and community factors remain central to our approach.

“We are committed to listening to the local community as we refine our plans over the coming months, with the aim of submitting a formal planning application in the summer.”

The resort will also be home to Center Parcs’ famous indoor waterpark, Subtropical Swimming Paradise with pools and sports facilities.

The Aqua Sana Forest Spa will also be part of the complex with treatments, sauna and steam rooms.

Restaurants, bars, cafes and shops will also be on-site, just like the other parks.

The 400-acre site – around 55 miles from Edinburgh – has not revealed an opening date although said it will take around three years once planning permission is given.

When it does open, it will be the seventh Center Parcs site in the UK.

The UK’s first Center Parcs resort was Sherwood Forest in 1987, followed by a second park two years later, Elveden Forest.

In 1994, Center Parcs Longleat opened, followed by Whinfell Forest in Cumbria in 1997 which is currently the largest of the UK parks.

Woburn Forest in Bedfordshire opened in 2014 followed by Longford Forest in 2019.

Before the Scottish Center Parcs site was confirmed, there were also plans to open a resort in Crawley.

However, these plans were later scrapped.

And some of the oldest Center Parcs resorts are found in the Netherlands, which opened in the 1960s.

A mum recently revealed how she saved more than £1,000 by going to a Center Parcs resort in Europe rather than the UK.

Otherwise we’ve rounded up the best holiday parks that are like Center Parcs without the price.

Former WBC heavyweight king Tyson is currently spending a lot more time with his family following his fifth retirement from boxing.

Tyson stunned boxing fans last month by hanging up his gloves in a bizarre video referencing Dick Turpin.

His latest retirement has seemingly put the final nail into the coffin of a long-overdue showdown with Anthony Joshua.

But Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh is keen to make the Battle of Britain and will likely to try twist Fury’s arm in the coming months.
