I've found the perfect way around it, Ron, I don't take any notice of it. I carry on the way I've always been, with comments about daft bints and nice arses. You'll find most people are the same, the male brain won't change overnight.
I'll give you an example of what I mean: on Look North last night there was a report about protesters refusing to leave the council offices. They were a bit miffed about Sheffield council cutting all their trees down. Typical middle aged hippies.
Anyhow, from the report you would guess that there were hundreds of people milling around and shouting and stuff. No. There were about 10 inside the building, one playing a guitar and the others wailing an unidentifiable tune, and 3 outside. The daft buggers outside were holding two placards each, doing their best to look like a crowd
So.....a non story that was only given legs by the way it was presented. There's a lot of it about.
