RogerC Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Interesting concept isn't it............discrimination is illegal but it's OK to discriminate positively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowtelse2do Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 They'll get their dinner in the canteen at Westminster. Wasn't there a bit of discrimination when the age of retirement for women was dropped to 60 and males were kept at 65. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliveH Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Due to our age difference SWMBO will get her OAP at age 66 now - whilst I will get mine at age 65. SWMBO is mightily pi$$ed about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiesgrandad Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Cosmopolitan Girl has been an ardent supporter of women's rights all her life, but one of the nicer type, you know, not too strident and not into burning her undergarments. As a consequence she has been able to break through that imaginary glass ceiling a couple of times during her career and has enjoyed her working life and all the benefits that come with it. One year whilst we were on vacation a problem arose, and instead of contacting CG and asking her to fly back and sort it, the Chairman authorised her deputy, an ambitious young man of dubious ability and influential parents, to sort it out. He made a total cods of it and the client walked away. At the subsequent inquest CG told her chairman it was his fault, he should have known better than to send a boy to do a woman's job. On another occasion at a board meeting one of her fellow directors was trying to wind her up and challenged her " don't you want equality with us?". She replied"I wouldn't sink that low". As I said, she is one of the better ones. AGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 It was always said that if you wanted a really good Doctor - especially a Surgeon - then try to get a Lady. This was said to be due to the "system" that allowed average male medical students but only the very best female ones. Given my experience both in getting good medical care for elderly parents more recently and my own children previously, I still believe there is much truth in this.

George Collings Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I am not sure about female doctors being good for you. The last one I saw was bad for my blood pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 It's my Chiropractor that does it for me - she has the knack of cracking my back in such a way that both our respective wobbly bits do just that. Sadly my wobbly bits are distinctly unattractive whereas the exact opposite is true of hers. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
