Isn't that taken directly from Agatha Christie's Third Girl? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Rising slowly I put forward this point of order "No Gentleman would ever be associated with such behavior" however he may well own a Norfolk Jacket, and, damn it man, it’s his own business if he has a nervous habit that requires him to carry his knitting with him wherever he goes.” 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brack Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Isn't that taken directly from Agatha Christie's Third Girl? Not consciously aware of having read that one, so either I have the same thought processes as an ageing literary dame of a previous era, or it was common at the time. I rather hope its the second option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted December 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2018 One never strikes a woman... I am distressed.Very distressed. I was expecting better from you, especially you. Whilst she may have many great and exemplary womanly assets, indeed she is the veritable apotheosis of womanhood, Miss Agutter is never a woman. She is a lady, pure and simple.

sem34090 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Yes Sir, you are quite right. I'm actually ashamed of myself - Over the past few months I've stopped making the distinction as I feared I was being a bit too stuck up my own @rse! You may have noted though that when referring to several contributors around here they are always the ladies of the pre-grouping section, never simply the women of the pre-grouping section!

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted December 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2018 Reminds me of the story of an ardent feminist for whom a gentleman held open a door. Lady: 'Sir, there is no need to hold open the door because I'm a lady.' Gentleman: 'Madam, I didn't hold it open because you are a lady. I held it open because I am a Gentleman.' Jim A colleague was once memorably chastised for not holding a door open for a person of the female gender - she was some way away and it wasn’t clear if she was headed our way: “If you were a gentleman, you would have held that door open.”To which he retorted, “If you were a lady, you wouldn’t have commented!” The point is, it’s not about ladies or gentlemen, it is simply good manners to hold the door open for someone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Amen to that sir. Though... I am a tad sexist in that regard sometimes. I find that if I'm in a rush I'm more likely to hold a door for a lady than for a bloke... And on platform duty where there are sometimes several doors to be held open I will usually choose one for a Lady. Especially a young and attractive one... Or one that I'm subconsciously flirting with - that happens. Oh, and I've edited my post - Woman has become Lady... SAH!!!

RMweb Premium Northroader Posted December 17, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2018 Looking at that Herbert in the Norfolk jacket, I thought his boots and puttees look very dodgy, and so I clicked on the image, and got the caption as well.
