Subject: Re: Women...


Well Phoebus, I know what you are talking about, as I spend 24 years of my
life in Greece, 5 of them riding everyday in Athens (sometimes as a
courier). I 've also spend 3 years of my life in UK, and I can tell you the
phenomenon is not as serious. Although there still are the "woman driving"
jokes, because people in general are much more disciplined when driving
(compared to Greece, that is) the things are not so bad.

For our friends reacting to Phoebus's opinion, I will tell you this my
friends. When I was in Greece, everytime I had a new girlfriend we had this
small argument when I was expressing my frustration for female drivers (and
only drivers, not riders). Give it two months of riding as my pillion and
the girls were getting worse than me in "cursing" female drivers ("what is
she doing, cow!", "bitch, who ever gave her a license is a criminal!",
etc.). My current girlfriend is not convinced yet, but I can see she
stopped reacting... After all she is English and we live in London, so
things are not as bad as in Athens...
