As a Mod I am seriously offended by this.
For 1, yeah like I would travel by motor vehicle and not a high end Ti or Carbon bicycle.
and 2.. they are not of my unit of Taliban Mods. I mean, mine have Blue headbands?

... and of course the fact that none of the headgear passes EN1078!

Very poor show!

With all this talk of Maggie Thatcher, I was telling a young man at work, how when I started in a factory (In an earlier thread, oldroadman thought this was a fate worse than death and escaping such ignominy would justify taking PEDs ! ) in the Harold Wilson & Ted Heath times, there was porn posted up throughout the place. In one office, there were two young girls. One refused point blank to go into the factory. The other would wait on the jobs she needed to go through the factory for, until I called by and then ask to walk through the factory with me because instead of a whole pile of vile whistling and taunting, she knew she could walk with me and nobody would try anything on. The a*seh*l*s that had no respect for her feelings were the guys who bought the Sun and stuck the page 3 girls up all around their machines to go with the porn posters and read porn every lunchtime. These were not nice people.

Cycling currently occupies a place in Sport similar to how the Sun positions itself within the portfolio of British newspapers. I don't see the Sun changing anytime soon.

Any corporate sponsor should run a mile until they can sort out the misogyny.

Hmmm, Bromptonboy and SS do both of you realise that the film Pretty Woman wasn't a documentary?

Well, it certainly caused a deal of opinions to be posted, and now I know that I'm a mysoginist (sorry but I actually LIKE ladies) and that taking PEDS is OK by me (which is a gross misrepresentation) both courtesy of Resal, who is perfectly entitled to stae opinions and I support that right to do so. In the same way I support a right to vehemently disagree with the peculiar "logic" employed.
But never mind, the thread brought out some fascinating attitudes.
By the way, quite a few podium girls I know have degrees, so the bimbo argument is a bit stale.
I married one a long time ago, and she's bright, sparky, intelligent (degree again) and supported me brilliantly for many years. It was a choice for her to do the job simply for the good money to help through qualifications, but if the job didn't exist she would have found something else. She can't help (still) being great looking, after all, and it's done no harm to her career in business.

Sorry "oldroadman" but I'm new to this forum so I haven't met your aquaintance before. Judging by your reply AND having first hand cough knowlege of the podium girl set (no disrespect meant by my wording by the way) I would think that you above all would have the relevant answers to the why's ,if's and but's regarding all things podium.........but alas no.It seems that there are more mighty forces at work,that common sense and knowlege can't over power.

Ah... "common sense". Well, I suppose it's a whole lot easier than thinking.
