I take issue with what you say, Jim. All banners were carried by men from my local church and the guide ropes were held by men, because women could not be trusted to concentrate.

I'll give you silly twittering people! I could take a big dislike to you with an opinion like that. Good job you aren't within shouting distance & I think you may have some redeeming features.
