Relevant of course in discussions about statistics relating to Domestic
Violence.

Don't buy this:

"Nina Myskow, who appeared on the BBC Two programme Grumpy Old Women
said: "Women are much grumpier because they have to deal with grumpy
old men who are the saddest creatures on God's earth. If you watched
both programmes, Grumpy Old Men and Women then you would see that women
rose above everything with humour while men just sat and festered."

The 58-year-old writer and broadcaster added: "It's harder for
women to cope with old age. Men go grey around the temples and that is
OK, but for women it is harder. We make jokes and point out that any
woman over 45 should never wave goodbye while wearing a sleeveless
frock." "
