Thanks everyone. Great support from people locally & on here. I think my canvassing may go even better now. Dave Willis, If you need advice on weight gain then I`m your man.
if you guys want an insight to being my size, at 48st I was sat on a shower stool with a plastic seat rated at 40 st. There was a cracking sound & I felt a certain part of my anatomy being pinched slighty.

My weight was holding the crack on the seat open. I knew that when I got up the crack would close. My wife was of no use as she couldn`t move for laughing

. Suffice to say after much thought of how to extracate myself,

I couldn`t reach down to free myself, I just had to stand up. OW.

There ends the lesson. Never use anything you are too heavy for & I`d rather fall off a ladder.
