@mark noble,
I work in an environment that is PC-maxed out. We don't even apply 'Ladies & Gentlemen' to our pa-announcements anymore - lest we breach 'Diversity' constraints.
I had my car serviced, last week - greasy, dirty folk, covered in oil and weld-scars (Proper mechanics) They were ribbing their female employee - "Get the kettle on, you're not capable of changing a clutch" - She replied "You wouldn't even know where a clutch was until a woman showed you... etc".
What a breath of fresh air, that was. Btw - They're all good folk and they take the piss, all day, every day.
