I am perfectly OK with the thread and probably will use it as much as anyone (but there are obvious limitations and expectations).

I am always fuming about the PC brigade and the Health & Safety lunacy that exists. We all should be accepting of the fact that the old days were not totally 'The good old days'. We all did things back then which were potentially fatal and madness at the time. Hopefully we all accept a little refinement on safety and what is said is a good thing.

But, give the over sensitive a little license and they go totally mad and err on the extreme.

A personal gripe of mine is being concerned about being a gentleman and opening doors or offer up your seat on the train etc for a woman. It's not sexist or patronising. It's just good old decent manners and I'd do the same for people older than me regardless of gender. But you live in fear on rebuke if you do. Hate it.
