What happens if somebody had a son who is ripped, 6 packed up and all sorts and gets paid to be a topless butler and shags any of the customers he wants?

It would be high fives all around.

Depends if he's over 12 or not.

I can assure you this still goes on. Nothing much has really changed within actual social groups.

This is very true because in social groups there are friendships and unofficial parameters of what is acceptable. There is a big difference between somebody who genuinely likes you and is a friend taking the piss and a stranger. In other words within a social group there is usually no malice. One of my best mates is Chinese and I make comments to him that would be wholly inappropriate to a stranger of the same ethnicity

A lot of this being politically correct is down to the media! The media rule this world and will create stories and controversy out of anything it can because it sells and we as a society are sucked into feeding it as we read it. If we didn’t pay attention to the media their money wouldn’t be generated and these controversies would not appear.

Woukd you like your daughter to dance around in skimpy outfits while guys stared at her?
You might be thinking of The Crew, I think they were a lot younger, just teenagers? I seem to recall, though could be wrong, the Belles were a lot older.

May have been wrong but in those days, the Belles didn't take themselves too seriously, it just seemed like a bit of a laugh and a bit of fun. The only abuse I recall they got was one night game in the winter, they came round the pitch after their dance, and the West End pelted them with snowballs :D

If I recall correctly two of them were quite nice.

Both on the same girl!

I was talking about grid girls and ring girls etc

I have not posted my opinion one way the other to be honest. Maybe some posters will apologise to me later today

nope. that's why when she goes clubbing at the weekend I make her wear a yashmak or boiler suit.
Those F1 girls seemed to wear more clothes than you'll see young women wearing on a night out on the town anyway (their choice nobody else's).

Isn't there a bit of a difference between cheerleaders, who are skilled, train hard and learn synchronised dance moves, and then on the other hand, pretty girls in tight clothing who just walk on and back off again?

Cheerleading is almost a sport and there are competitions across the world.
Cheerleading is a sport in my view. Its technically and physically demanding. Our Village school are insanely good at it (randomly) and win competitions all over the Country for it. They have boys, girls and mixed squads I believe.

No mate. People actually don’t like being treated like shit. It’s not a media conspiracy FFS.

Ok nice to know you would look at your daughter and hope 1 day she dances around for men


Noted.

Reading comprehension not your forte eh?

Edit: you seem to think it’s a mans place to police what women do. How telling.

I don't think cheer leading is particularly sexist, i don't think it was right to drop the grid girls.
That's why I don't think the Presidents club was a good example when ricketts posted it because groping crosses a line and like I said, its assault. But as I said, I get his general point.
There are lots of interesting arguments about all this. Imo I have historically just thought the F1 girls..."what's the point?" When I watch football, F1 or Darts live or on TV...I am not wanting to to look at scanty clad women. If I want to watch such women, I go to a lap-dancing club or whatever. By the same token I am not offended by them either. I accept that this is work for the girls, & mght even bring in some extra dimension/customers...but just like many of us have experienced in life "your job has been made redundant"! F1 has made a business decision that we probably wish many other businesses would make. Liken it to the Royal Mail delivering shed loads of junk mail. They do that to make money. They infuriate me by doing it...but they don't care about me. I cannot stop them very easily & have no alternative mail provider.

Live & let live...it's more a shift in F1 thinking than people taking offence at the girls I reckon

They do don't they? I am 99% certain my daughter said that a boy at her school was a cheerleader when they were both in primary .
This is true...but he was probably made a figure of fun & got called a 'snowflake'

Am curious as to whether all the glamour models involved in hospitality etc at F1 events are being "made redundant" or is it just the grid girls.
Go to F1 events and there are literally 100s of them. Just the grid girls then it's cosmetic and misleading.

An anti-snowflake thread and you manage to get the word "Thaw" into it! Clever! I like what you did there! :emoji_smile:
True genius is often unintentional! :cigar:

My worst moment with them was going up a Blackburn cup game with my old man and him perving over them and me pointing out the age of some of them and him saying "so?" That was an awkward silence after that....

I have no objection to boys doing it too. Its entertaining, and talented, and showcases their abilities so they can get spin off benefits, ie bookings, parties, etc than can enable to make a career from it.

Also, thanks Nonleagueherewecome for the Sweeney on ITV4 tip. I've set it up on series link.

Absolute pleasure, guv'ner.
