I don't see what people are complaining about. All I see is a list of things they offer and that its for the shakespeare hospice?

The term "birds" for women ... and the rather patronising text about "less of a challenge" for ladies .....

tbh I think the second bit is the problem not the first - if the birds on bikes route was a real beast, for women, and it said so, I don't see it being patronising.

What's the difficulty of a route got to do with the gender of the cyclists? :scratch:

Nothing. My point was I don't see a problem with the term 'birds' just the assumption the easy route was for women.

.... you need to have seen and read the original text etc that has now been expunged.

Well I'm one of the ones that does have a problem with being called a "bird" :thumbsup:

Moot point though.

I thought the term "bird" went out when Hancock's Half Hour finished on the radio and television way back when ... although it did get a bit of a revival when Michael Caine made the film Alfie in the 1960s!
