They're not. A size 7 womens = a size 5 mens. If I buy men's sneakers in the US, they are always a size 5.

You do realise that the Daily Mail is a tabloid and, as such, has less veracity than a politician? Hell, I would even pay more attention to what Dubya says than a British tabloid!

Yep. That's why it wasn't my only source, although it sure seems to be the most popular one to discuss on here. I think that says more about you guys than me. :-p I used it to show that even sensationalistic British media isn't claiming the new average bra size is above 36C.
Re: other poster, about age-related deflation: nope. If you read the interviews, the women make it clear it doesn't just have to do with age. And if gramma is a B now, no way she was a DD when she was young--there's only so much you deflate. (If anything, sag usually adds a cup size. How perky and "full" breasts look has nothing to do with that cup size they are.)

I'm not quite sure what you are saying here. Converse might not be quite UK sizes, but all three pairs I looked at in my size range matched UK sizing, it could just be coincidental and their own in-house measurements just match UK sizes at that point. They definitely aren't normal US shoe sizing, though.

jw,
I take it you do the surveys?
Could you also put the option for "I...I am OK."
