It's a great shame that, in these enlightend times, sexist issues are still prevalent. IMHO there is nothing smart in making sexist comments that degrade and humiliate. Percy, you should be ashamed!. .I remember, whilst working for a maintenance company nearly 20 years ago, a female mechanic (the only one) was made redundant during lean times. One of the reasons given for her dismissal? She couldn't lift a (707) brake unit on her own! Who could?
