In response to Julie Lynn: Three cheers for the brawn of Britain

Sure it’s great that three hefty blokes acted heroically, but my main praise is for all the ordinary blokes who work to make the world happen. On holiday I noticed:

100% of the drivers of HGV vehicles in a M5 motorway services were men;

100% of fishermen in Newlyn harbour were men;

100% of the people repairing the motorway in the heat were men (as were all the people doing the overnight repairs in February freezing cold);

100% of the builders on a building site were men;

100% of the people repairing electric cables after the gales were men.
