Anne Nightingale features listeners' letters on almost any subject.
' I was always under the misapprehension that the British male was solid, reliable, considerate, sincere and a born gentleman. That, I might tell you, is absolute baloney. They are in fact rude, inconsiderate, weak and most unreliable. The men nowadays have got so used to women being women's libbers that they have forgotten how to treat a woman like a lady ... There is nothing nicer than to be courted in an old-fashioned respectable way.'
' The British girl is no English rose as is often depicted by visitors from abroad. She seems to have a one-track mind, concerning clothing and the poor types of pop music, especially in conversation with other people. The modern girl is droopy-shouldered. feeble-minded, unintelligent and totally incapable of making up her mind on any point.'
Producer Simon MAJOR
