I had an interesting confrontation with a young chap in one of my infamous pubs last night. A very attractive middle aged woman came over to the bar where I was stood with two of my dogs, one is a VERY big lad, the other a puppy. She immediately said, "Hi, big boy". I turned to her and said "Are you talking to me or the dog?". She laughed and asked if it was OK to stroke the dogs. I said it was fine, go ahead. When we had a brief chat about what breed they were she started to order her drink. A young lad with braided hair standing nearby then said to me "It's 2019, talking like that to a lady is in very bad taste, you shouldn't say things like that". I just laughed. The lady heard him and asked if he really thought she'd be offended by what I'd said. He got a bit defensive saying such banter to a stranger was out of order. To my amazement and delight she winked at me, put her hand on the front of my trousers, and said to me, "I was definitely talking to the dog". The lad nearly chokedShe was a star and my kind of woman, we had a good laugh about it and she said that this PC stuff had gotten way out of hand and a sense of humour when talking to women was disappearing especially amongst young men.
To the poster who asked if comments about Rachel Riley and women in general were unsavoury they need to think whether she would really be offended by men admiring her physically, and talking about her amongst themselves... Minding one's P's and Q's is all very well, but a bit of banter is still totally harmless to many normal women these days.
None of this happened. Why did you type it out?
