    "Going grey may be no barrier to sexiness but going bald certainly is in the eyes of most people."

    What a load of crap.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      It depends how you carry it off. A combover is not a good look.

        The Times knows it all:

        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          So, is that it then for Celebrity Nonce Watch? I can't remember if there's anyone else on the list. DLT 2 felt a bit like it was starting to jump the shark.

            I spent 90 minutes with the former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis last Thursday and I don’t think there is a part of my body that he didn’t grope. He fondled my foot, inched his hands up my thighs, tried to make me sit on his lap and kissed me. He copped a feel of my hips when I foolishly asked for a tour of his studio, stroked my chin and my back and gave me a full body hug as I left.

              Whilst that is unacceptable in a business situation it's not really in Savilles league.

              In fact now it would be a hr issue and dismissal not sure it would go any further???

                I agree it's not in Savile's league but thought it interesting since we were talking about DLT

                It was said that things were different away back then and I know there was a bit of groping going on in offices that would be frowned upon now but that was only 2 years ago. I would have thought a female journalist would have been strong enough to tell him where to go and cut the interview short after the first fumble.

                  People behaviour differently in distressful situations.

                  You cannot presume due to someone's job, age, build or background they will behave in a particular way.

                    Saville and the rest got away with it because they threatened to sue anyone who made an allegation and had friends' in high places.

                    I seriously doubt that HR would have listened to this woman if there were not witnesses or other evidence, as they are there to protect the company.

                    In fact that "protection" often extends to forcing the woman out of her job........

                      I like how the BBC said the victim couldn't be named then gave clues that take you about 30 seconds to work it out.
