Not to get heavy or boring, but I grew up in a time when ads and commercials had the hideous habit of mocking women. (Nowadays, of course the pendulum has swung otherwise, and men are abused in the same way, but I digress.)
Go to any developing or third world country and you will see how women are treated. I thank my lucky stars to be in Canada (and/or USA) - women have it pretty good here compared to most around the world.

I have no doubts about the truth to that. I'm glad not to have to witness such ads demeaning women anymore, but it was just a matter of time.

Imagine what this must look like if you've "had a few"!

This has to be in England, as the little warning sign says "Mind the Step" - over here we would say Caution or Beware or something like that.

The first time Andy said to me "Mind your head" I said - "I don't mind it at all"

Your right Neesy, it's a pub in Eastbourne which is a sea-side town in Sussex, on the Channel coast.

I put this in the King thread but I will repeat it here:

Come to Winnipeg with the wife, King Zep and we will take you both to the King's Head Pub here - it is an imitation of a real English pub but there is probably something missing I am sure (they do serve pub food like (gulp) mushy peas!) yikes
