What can I say- the perfect example of a major difference between UK and Egypt......
on meeting today a very good Egyptian friend ( female) her opening words were (translated);
'oh Lorna, you got fat.. you look very sweet- like a baby with a round fat face'
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well.......... I know she meant nothing but good... but can you imagine how I felt????

in case you are wondering...
yes she is still alive...
No, I didn't strangle her!
her clarifacation on the matter when I expressed my distress was;
"but its ok lorna, you're tall... its ok to be fat when you are tall"................ !!!
