Ha ha those who have 'thumbed up' ya post isn't 'pretty much everyone' is it? What about the thumbs up i get then for my posts? To me 'pretty much everyone' would constitute most NSC members, when clearly this is not the case. I'm not one to revert to insults and I don't like doing so but you are a very pompous person who doesn't like it when anyone dares to express the 'wrong' views on here. 'The voice of reason' is reflective of this, very conceited way to self title ya self. Perhaps 'don't you dare disagree with me' would be more appropriate.
Offensive, to some people yes. Belittling, definitely.
Not going to bother reading the replies I'm just going to assume 99% of NSC think it was a twatty thing to say.
While the remaining 1%'s opinion on the matter is so arcane I've never taken anything they've written seriously.

Funny you write that, when it is clear by reading the Mail or Express, or just talking to my older in-laws and others of their age, that these are some of the most intolerant people around. In both cases you just continually hear disparaging remarks about gay people, the young, people on benefits, the EU, the Labour party, environmentalists, muslims, foreigners, and so on and so forth. So much intolerance and yet its the millenials who get it in the neck.
What you really want is for people to be tolerant of intolerant people.

BBC play it via UK Gold. I've just selected it on catch up. It contains a warning at the start, but the entire episode is there in all its glory.
When I started work in the eighties, for the Central Electricity Generating Board (spelt out for the youngsters), the middle managers, would fall over themselves to lead training courses, as it gave them access to all the bright young things. I've never had daughters, but would be delighted, if I did that they would not have to run that particular gauntlet. Any blokes feeling a bit Sid James over this prospect, should also reflect that you could get overlooked for a hard earned promotion, in favour of a more flighty individual prepared who was prepared to sleep with the boss.
Having said that people getting offended just manages to provoke a reaction in us. I try and switch off all of the following;
1 Food delivery/Take away served me meat and I am a Vegan (not that committed or you would make your own) - Think it but don't say it (if I or my family had a severe allergy, I would make my own F'ing sandwiches, rather than play russian roulette in a sandwich shop)
2 Anyone offended by anything royalty related, particularly protocol.
3 Celebrity all outs, with very few exceptions.
4 I really don't give a toss if Men earn more than women for playing professional tennis, acting in films, or working for the BBC - all of these people are more than adequately compensated and their glaring lack of self awareness shines brightly. It isn't fair I get that but in the great scheme of things, it is somewhere near the bottom of the pile.
It’s also worth remembering that, I imagine, he will need to liaise with them in the future. . Belittling council staff like this isn’t a smart move.
Lenny: Is that the council?
Council: Yes it is, who is that?
Lenny: Lenny Rider?
Council: Ah, yes, we have spoken before. What can I do you for?
Lenny: I need blah blah
Council: Sure, no problem, hold the line and I’ll sort this............pops down pub for two hours because that’s what all public sector staff do at lunch time.
Council: Hello, hello, anyone there?
Nailed it.

Is that the best the 'voice of reason' can come up with?
Excellent work! Do carry on.

Ah thanks so much mate. We usually disagree on here so it's good to see we've established some common ground.
Deserved? Almost certainlyAlthough perhaps a bit strongly worded
Deserved? Not sure. Unnecessary, definitely

As I'd assumed, tbh.
I'm a notorious flicker with the remote, but whenever I come across a FT episode, no matter how far in, and no matter how many times I've seen it, I find it impossible not to watch it through again. Racial and sexual stereotypes abound in every episode, it would never get past a BBC commissioner (or any other broadcaster) if it was written these days. I'm just glad we can still easily revisit them.

Yes surely a case of engage your brain before opening your mouth. Especially as you will probably have to deal with the young lady again at some point.

She wasn't offended.
If she was, it was on the basis of you being fairly condescending and rude. Perhaps it was justified, hard for me to say. Either way you should know better, never underestimate how jokes, good or bad, can be seized upon to judge your character.
Comedians battle with it on a daily basis. Just the world we live in I'm afraid. It'll pass in time, just like a kidney stone.
