To ask what you think about 'Grid Girls' no longer being used?

I think it is a great thing.

Some people on my FB clearly don't.

Why are people so happy that a bunch of women just lost their jobs? What about their families? How are they going to support them now?

Seriously? They're not going to starve and end up on the streets. It's not a full time job.

Thats how you know its womens work though. Its part time. /s

There was a long thread on my FB about this, with elderly men moaning about how unfair it all was. I asked what the grid girls did, apart from hold umbrellas as they insisted that they did a 'valuable job'. Nobody actually answered me just came up with the same old 'they've lost their income' rubbish. I pointed out that actually they were only moaning as they'd lost their pervfest. Funny, nobody answered that one either....

UsualGubbins - I wonder if it was the same F/Book debate I was on, as I found exactly the same. Disappointed also that so many women joined to agree with that argument too. Oh, and let's not forget everyone saying the objectors must be 'jealous'.

I just know if 'grid guys' had been implemented wearing budgie smugglers, the same people would be saying stuff like 'no way - this is a family' event
