Keef, LNS and anyone else interested:

1. I have known Keef for over 30 years, and before I converted to atheism I helped several vicars to dress (only the ceremonial part!) and saw many vicar's (and several vicars') robes; I frankly do not believe there is any combination of Keef and vicar's dress which could result in him looking like a tart.

2. I have nothing to say on the subject of women piloting abilities per se (and Whirlybird seems to prefer men not to say anything on that topic anyway) but on a tangentially related aspect, an instructor observed to me years ago that when nubile women were present on a gliding field, many men tended to act differently - and not for the better. He opined that male bad flying and ground behaviour, and hence potential accidents, were more likely in mixed company, because of that effect, not through any fault of the women concerned. With some foreboding, I wonder what opinions and observations people have on that?
