Sometimes we wonder if the British women may have given up due to the lack of any worthwhile British men... it's all very well presenting yourself as a Barbie but if there's little chance of meeting any Kens then the incentive is lost. They'll always be women who look after themselves and get a kick out of comments from their own sex or maybe they just have that much self respect. The over-riding image of the British male for many a woman probably sways between football fanatic to utility 'I ain't paying that for a daisy' type.... how could any woman resist? After reading Tad's reports perhaps a trip to the States could be the answer for you? The Witches have just had a crystal ball flash..... L.A.Story forget it, Wybers Wood Story more like :) Truth is being single in your forties is probably tough where ever you are for all kinds of reasons. WoE p.s. You'd be doing Miss Surgically Enhanced a favour by keeping her here in a cold country, less chance of melting :) If you get up one day and find her scowling at you, don't worry she's not cross it's just she's due another botox shot :) if she's had the shot and is still scowling then boy are you in trouble.... Rod,

Alas no, it was his cheque book, clasp firmly locked in case of unnecessary expense :) WoE Dino and Rod,

What's happened to the art of wooing, that's what we'd like to know? Gone are the days when a lock of hair might be given... thank goodness too because by the time your average bloke has decided to get down to some serious wooing, the women in question would be bald :) When we come back, we're coming back as men... and we can tell you all that we'll have the pick of all the women and be fighting duals left, right and centre :) WoE Dino,
