IMHO Thats a lot of money and time wasted to find out that only women can
get pregnant.

When I see a woman or foriegn git in an "unexpected job" I always
suspect they got the job because of what they are, not what their
abilities are.

Hence prob. useless *******s. Not quite always. But mostly.

Or to find out that men are under-represented in the senior civil
service, appointments to public boards, or secondary school head
teachers compared to general UK workforce management.

Or to ignore the possibility that women are less likely than men to
judge their success in life by how far they can get promoted at work.

"Women in top jobs: Secret of success". Pah!

I mean, we really need more power tools. They don't need shoes and
handbags.

Well, they don't need as many as they've typically got. I once took a
girl to Vienna. She started out by putting 20 pairs of shoes in the boot.


I have one pair of "good" shoes (DMs), one pair of old shoes for DIY and a
pair of wellies.

SWMBO has about 6 pairs in current use (plus anoth half dozen "dressy" ones
in a box) and she's not even a "girly girl"

You can't compare the population of High Court judges with /today's/
population, as it takes however many decades to become a High Court
Judge you have to compare it with the population it is drawn from,
the population of newly-qualified lawyers 30 or 40 years ago.

JGH

My GF has one pair of hiking style boots, and a pair of flip flop style
shoes with thick soles, and that's it,
she's in bare feet in the house and garden,

I mean she wanted to put 20 pairs of shoes, loose, in the boot. That was
before the suitcase. This was a Triumph Stag so although the boot was
good-sized for a sports car, in absolute terms it was not. I
remonstrated and got in down to a dozen or so.

Heh heh. I had to get rid of it when I bought a farm. It didn't have
the ground clearance to get up the existing road.
I was sickened. I loved that car.
At that time it went for a song.
Paid £3000 for it, sold it two years later for £1000. Well p/ex for a
Citroen with elevating suspension.
Weird car that was.
