that does remind me of some very sexists comments from an old colleague about what women are good for. So bad I'm not going to repeat them, along with the comment about women should have small feet....I'm starting to feel a slight sting of jealousy here, because I have never been given tools for Christmas. I got a frying pan once, that's about as close as it gets.
I nearly bought the wife a beginners tool box for xmas after comment about 'making things' - only to stop her pinching my stuff :^O
