    Sex discrimination

    According to the current issue of the Daily Mail, Gym staff are being told off somewhere or other for telling women not to lift as heavy weights as men.

    Can we apply this to our own profession, do we think? Does this double the potential manket for EHC, for instance -- it might not be safe to refuse, soon.

    Fortunately, it's unlikely to be true, but it make you fink, dunnit?
    ....just my opinion

    well i suppose as a worse case scenario we might have a nasty case of unexpected lactation...

    still, at least there'd be something to put in the tea...

    Works the other way round.
    A woman hurts herself lifting heavy weights and tries to sue because she wasn't warned?

    Commonsense is no longer common.
    (anyone care to give me the latin for that - I have a good use for it)
    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................

    Google translate gives it as
    Veselais saprāts vairs nav kopējas
    ..I'm afraid it's Latvian. Is this close enough?

    It's so long since I've been to the gym I'd need to start off with the woman's weights.....sitting at the computer with wine and crumpets.
