Falling squarely into the ‘nice work if you can get it’ line of research, or the ‘headline-grabbing waste of everyone’s time’ line of research if you prefer is the news that Liverpool has the biggest breasts in the country.

Women from the city have an ample average bosom of 34E, retailer Debenhams has found.

Annette Warburton, Debenhams’ Head of Lingerie Buying, said: “The most common size in Liverpool stands at a plentiful 34E, reflected in local busty celebrities, Abby Clancy and Coleen Rooney.

Debenhams puts all of this down to pregnancy, hormones, boob jobs and weight. I’m certain there are some conclusions to be drawn from all of this, but since they can only conceivably relate to the rate of pregnancy, proportion of women using the pill, amount of plastic surgery and amount of fat lasses in the city I’m not touching them with a bargepole, as it were.

Certainly I can think of a few massive tits I associate with Liverpool, although most of them have now moved out of the city.

If I worked for tabloid at this stage I’d be compiling a gallery of big-breasted Liverpool ladies, and with any amount of WAGs and tabloid fodder to choose from I don’t imagine it would be a difficult task.

As it is I’ll simply provide a link to these great tits from Liverpool
