null Head, Chair, Actor

  Hull university has apparently issued guidance to students on the use of gender neutral language informing them that they they risk their work being down graded if they fail to adopt this approach.

null International Women's Day

  The Black Panthers, the Vietnam war, Bob Dylan and the woman's liberation movement, this is the New York scene in the Late 60's early 70's.

null Halford's an example of poor customer care and probably sexism

Halford's at Crystal Peaks Sheffield told my wife it would take an hour and a half and involve removing the bumper to replace a break light bulb. Mets of Dinnington did it there and then, took 2 minutes cost £5. What's so difficult about customer care? Guess where I'm going for my next service and MOT?  Voir plus

How high your heels are, how often you change your hair style and how much your designer handbag cost are not the type of observations you expect to read about in a serious article about a chief executive of one of the biggest  local authorities .
