Any women reading this are going to nod knowingly. Blokes, you’re probably going to disagree with me initially. All I ask is that you open your mind and realise I’m not being sexist. I’m merely revealing what I’ve observed after living with one of you for 25 years and spending time with quite a lot of you over my life time. The fact that this is even getting printed means both the male editor and male publisher recognise the truth. I’m sure the lovely women reading will agree that all the hairy-knuckled ones out there have been covering up the reality for too long and it’s time they were exposed (figuratively, not literally).
I hope you’ll all be man enough to acknowledge, despite years of denial, that blokes can hold their own at both shopping and talking.
