    Hi Ridge..

    I am in office and I read this article.. I am having a very hard time controlling my laughter. :rotfl:rotflmy neighbours in the adjacent cubicles must be wondering what happened to me..
    the most funniest line... Tie a ribbon before he arrives Big Laugh

    Thank god I was not born in the 50s..

    On a serious note, it is very surprising to know such practices existed in the 50s in UK..

    Ridgema,
    This was not at all a surprise to me...as where humans live, they have these kind of rules against the weaker sections..
    But some are still there with these kind of expectations..Rant
