Big Girls and Big Boys
Me and hubby will be moving to Adelaiade shortly. I know it sounds a daft question...but we are both podgy possums, and want to know if there are clothing outlets in the area that cater for the more voluptuous possums in that area

I would'nt worry.
Australia has plenty of the larger possums present. Should imagine you'll have no probs.

podgy, dont worry you will be able to get something, Im just not sure what stores are available down in Adelaide. Im not exactly thin either &, luckily for the general population, I can buy clothes 
. Even Kmart & BigW has a range of bigger sized clothing, although you might struggle to find anything decent to wear out, they seem to specialise in casual pants & tops mostly. Everyday street wear you can get from places like Myers, Katies & Millers. And then there are always places like MaggieT for more upmarket or formal clothes.
As for the guys, Lowes has everyday wear available in sizes up to about 4XL & depending on how big he is, lots of specialty shops stock some larger sizes.
Good luck

The Aussies are probably the second podgiest in the world after the Americans. On a flight to Auckland there were 2 so big that had to be put on wheel chairs to get them on the plane. I think they had to strategically place them so as not to over balance the plane on to one side.
If you are not exercise inclined you will only get podgier here. Lots of big servings.

Good luck to you. I was adverse to exercise in the UK but here I have been transformed. Never been very podgy but the Mrs was getting worried by the waist size increase before I got out here. She even advised me to get a waist size up when buying a suit.
