Hopefully Bickmore learns from this, and moves on.

When you make comments like this (even in jest) you are condoning an attitude that may swing back and impact on the women in your own life. Would you like it if a man displayed a similar attitude in an interaction with your wife or daughter in their workplace? I doubt it.

No, I for one certainly wouldn't like it, but then she handled it ok as someone in her position should be able to and all things considered being male or female shouldn't be an issue (in these modern PC times). Sad

I heard Bickmore talking? this morning.

Unfortunately he's ready for Sunny Acres Retirement village. Talking about not being able to hang photos on the wall because of the mould????

When Jonesy and Amanda interviewed him they had to guarantee 40 minutes of interview. It sounded like he was doing an entry interview for the funny farm.

Too many purple hearts or whatever it was you were taking Johnny.

New lyrics, "this is the story of Johnny Rotten, he is gone and long forgotten."

It's the voice of working class London where ALL abuse is affectionate. It's not understood anywhere else, the only analogy is the use of 'bastard' in Oz. + of course, he's made a career out of the policy that no publicity is bad publicity.

Nice to see you Annie
