Ample BosomTuesday 22 April 2003
When Sally and John Robinson's farm on the North Yorkshire Moors ran into the sort of financial trouble that's now all too familiar in agriculture, they tried everything.

In 1983, it was bed and breakfast. Fourteen years later, they tried holiday cottages. They even considered selling up. But then Sally found a gap in a different market and set up her own lingerie company - to cater for women who need, shall we say, a larger cup size, like herslef.
As she explained to Lesley Hilton, its name might be causing sniggers amongst postmen up and down the country but it's doing a roaring trade - unlike the farm.
