Saved by a whistle

HOW daft to call for wolfwhistl­ing to be made a hate crime. When I was 18, I was involved in a car accident and my head was smashed into the windscreen. I needed a lot of stitches in my face, which knocked my confidence.

Some time later, I was wolfwhistl­ed when walking past a building site. I was so delighted that my confidence began to return.

Women can lust after Aidan Turner in Poldark, but if men behave in the same way towards a woman, they find themselves in trouble.

JANET BERRY, Hambleton, N. Yorks. AGED 60, a size 10 and with a fancy hair- do, I was walking along the street when I was wolf-whistled. When I turned around, the disappoint­ed driver said: ‘Oh, forget it!’

I chuckle every time I think of his glum face.
