Have a search around Google on whether it's acceptable to refer to a Woman as a lady and make your own mind up. For me it does seem a rather old fashioned term, something I associate with Tennis... the Ladies Singles Final etc. 21 minutes ago, HackneyHawk said: Why would it be up the BBC's alley? what's your point? The beeb do like a minority sport (except for Speedway it would seem), but even more than a minority sport they like Women's sport, they have in the recent past shown Women's Football, Cricket & Rugby, despite the crowd levels being on a par with "established" sports like Speedway (and others) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Embarrassing once again by those in charge. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
