MargieH 6,652 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Yes, it was great to read about your exploits Ben! Had a few similar to them myself! However, I won’t be sharing any of them because whereas it’s OK for a man to do so, it’s less so for a woman (even in this enlightened age) I do like reading your posts, though x 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 4,340 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Ladies don’t have the vote down in the backwaters of the Fenlands BK. Women still know their place out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 6,652 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Actually, we fen females are very strong willed, open minded and know our rights! However, I still think women’s exploits are viewed differently from men’s, in the eyes of many of the older generation. Having read comments on Nottstalgia over the past 5 years on various controversial subjects, I can see that some of the people on here are still quite ‘conservative’ in their opinions. That’s not meant as a particularly negative comment btw .... I’m just saying it as I see it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,340 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I've been out with a few nurses (long ago). They were lacking inhibitions. They'd seen it all before! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
