WOMEN’S EQUALITY
It was Women’s International Day recently; fair play to them. They have been very dogged in recent times. They are definitely closing the gap on the male species as regards getting a level playing field. Eventually, they will supersede the male as they have a huge advantage as regards lateral thinking.
Men are not at the races when itcomes to lateral thinking in comparison to the ladies. The one drawback is that it’s only a matter of time before the fair sex will take the place of men at stag parties. Had my granny Mary Anne still been alive, (she was born in 1876) her response to all of this would be “God save us from all harm”. She was ahead of her time.
