My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.

THIS IS FROM A DIFFERENT AGE AND WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE TODAY. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS ANOTHER FORM OF A DENIAL OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. FEMINISTS WOULD SAY THAT WOMEN WERE TREATED APPALLINGLY IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 20TH CENTURY. WHILST IT IS TRUE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN HOW WE VIEW THE FAIR SEX BUT THERE IS FAR LESS RESPECT FOR WOMEN TODAY. SO CALLED EQUALITY HAS PRODUCED THE LADDETTE CULTURE WITH SMOKING, BINGE DRINKING AND VULGUR LANGUAGE AND VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR INCREASING AT A FAR GREATER RATE THAN THE MALE POPULATION WE HAVE GAINED AND LOST.
