Faking It
I was watching Faking It last night - a programme in which someone who does one job is taught to do another and then put on trial to see how well they have done in their new occupation.

This week there was a lady who worked in a newsagents and she was being trained to be a tv presenter. Her task at the end of the show was to interview the Appleton sisters. She was advised that when she interviewed them she should call them "girls" and NOT "ladies."

This struck me as funny considering the rather vicious tyrade of emotion that has been thrown at Andrew Jones after his referring to teenage girls as...can you guess? Yep "girls." Read some good thoughts on this from Nomes.
