To think this bbc news presenter is a chauvinist arse?

This clip of Justin Rowlatt and Sophie Raworth is typical old boys rubbish from the BBC, I think. Or am I suffering sense of humour failure? Personally, I'd like to tackle him on the hockey pitch, but reckon he'd probably be too scared.

He has 3 daughters. I assume they will be taught how to sew, cook and type

I've worked with him. He likes to play devil's advocate and would put money on the fact that the comments were made with tongue firmly in cheek.

I hate it when people make annoying, ill thought out comments on the pretext of playing devil's advocate, or even worse "joking".

Secretarial was wide of the mark, but HR, which is what he was in, is indeed relatively female dominated. Saying 'secretarial' is a bit too much of a stereotype though.

It was unlikely to be the IT department at any rate.

He's seems lovely, not a twat at all.

But he's a reporter, it's his job to play devil's advocate...
