NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC launches bursary to encourage female electricians into the industry

It would be nice to know that something that I highlighted

Well even £500 would be a good leg up on a £3000 course. I have sent the link to her. Let's hope she is successful! She does work/training with me and I really think she is great as a potential electrician. My only regret is that not one of my six daughters was in the least bit interested in working with me, shame. As to women getting something not open to men, no one complained when men/boys signed up to free apprenticeships. Swings and roundabouts come to mind. Don't envy a person because they get something you can't have. Saying that there are no doubt bursaries for all types of particular individuals, as we well know.

without a vag

Nowadays you could decide you have developed gender dysmorphia and identify as the appropriate class of person for the grand prize of £500. It is not really necessary to have particular appurtenances to qualify nowadays. In fact you may become a champion of pro-nouned people into the bargain!

Frankly I would be hard put to think "joke" but I do have one Son as well. So I have done my bit for Britain. As to snipping bits, when hell freezes over!

Fortunately we have two loos so, not so bad. Our household is old school where the man is head of the house. So that helps in the pecking order, and I am very easy with my position of head of the household.

There is nothing to it mate.. You just have to wear undies for two weeks, to keep the danglies from moving too much. The hardest part is giving the two samples. They give you a small container you got to get your 'sample' in.. The people at the clinic are funny. The nurse who called people from the waiting room call peoples names out and then add "...Come on down..." to the end.

Is that because they're short of £500, because you're "sexist & misogynistic" or because the job simply doesn't appeal to them?

Raises a good point. You could argue it's not socially acceptable, if we all had 6 kids we would soon be in big trouble? Mind you someone has to ensure we don't get outbred........

My post was nothing to do with 'socially acceptable'..... purely about having 6 daughters that are driving you crazy...
