Perhaps the answer lies in the adverts for bingo, especially that for Gala bingo.

Because of attitudes like yours?

Margaret Thatcher loved a game of bingo

Lol, you could be right, lew. ;-)

Lew, what's bingo got to do with women in top jobs?
Sorry, haven't seen the ad for Gala, so maybe there is something in it, for all I know.

Hiya Cloverjo. Well, when you do perhaps you'll understand. My synopsis appears to be a little too deep for some. Perhaps we'll see them in the next series of ads.

Most women are usually away from screen doing somewhat very important rather than watching TV ads.

Yes.... like AB :-)

I really don't know. Perhaps you could ask Priti Patel, Anna Subry, Amber Rudd, Baroness Stowell of Beeston, Nicky Morgan, Ruth Davidson, Elizebth Truss...

I think you are right, Lew. Those daft women on bingo adverts really annoy me.

A link to the ad in question might be a good idea...then your mysterious statement might make sense.

Oh dear neveracrossword (there's always one). Were did I say ALL women are stupid? C'mon, who did you get to read it to you?

Do you pastafreak?

Neveracrossword

Pardon, LewPaper? I simply answered the question in your post - the people I mentioned may be able to give you the reasons for there being so few women in top jobs and in Government.

I'm afraid I don't understand the 'were did I say ALL women are stupid?' bit - no-one said you did!

This chap quite likes a bit of Gala La La

How can you reduce something to absurdity when it is absurd to begin with?

Your question makes no sense you have not given any facts or stats. You are assuming that all women are watching the ads - I couldn't tell you a Gala Ad if it jumped up and bit me on the nose!

Well, Islay how do feel qualified to answer a statement about which you know nothing? See it then feel free to comment.
