WE’RE NOT EQUAL YET

# We may be celebrating the 100th anniversary of women getting the vote, but equality between the sexes will never happen if attitudes towards women don’t change.

I’ve just watched an advert encouraging a young man to get life insurance cover as he has a wife, child and one on the way.

The message is, ‘What would happen if he died? How would she cope?’

What would happen if she died? Doesn’t she need life cover too? Sue Baxter, Stockport Gtr Manchester

So, we now have it confirmed that Bill Roache, aka Ken Barlow, really has lost the plot. He claims his, and indeed everyone’s bodies, are “designed to go on for ever” and that he’s actually getting younger (Mirror, Feb 7).

We should focus on future generations. Sue Johnson, Downham Market, Norfolk
