I know a guy from Wales who will no longer take his wife back with him to Britain. She's big - and I mean big like 250+ easy, and at about 5-foot-6-inches. He says he can't stomach (no pun intended) how everyone (there) openly stares at her.

American girth: a worldwide (no pun intended) marvel.

About 10 years ago I was on a train between Scotland and England. This large (~250) woman walks down the aisle in my direction. My idiot friend (who is facing me across the aisle, points). Her husband/boyfriend is right behind her and starts in with my friend, pissed as hell. He is frozen in fear of getting his ass kicked. Other friend diffuzed the situation.

Found out later the guy was mixing it up in next car as well.

The only other people we saw that size in 3.5 weeks of travel were 2 hefty women from Alabama..
