at different times. It once took me half an hour to get a sports bra off, blessed thing rolled up and I couldn't get hold of it.

I've also been stuck with zips in dressing rooms - probably because I was too fat to get the thing on easily, plus the quality of zippers is very variable. I got stuck trying on a new cycling rain jacket, the zip caught a little of the lining and it took ages to eventually pull if off over my head - undoing it when I could see the problem was then easy.

I have nice medium size rucksack I use on holidays or when I'm walking which has several zip pockets with weather covers - the number of times I caught the zip on the cover and had to spend time fiddling with it, I hate to think.

But it's nothing compared to the the little boy I once saw in casualty - I'd taken my younger brother there with some sort of injury - and the little boy had caught his prepuce in his zip. Yep the eyewatering qualities of foreskin and I thought getting stuck in a jacket was bad!
