Woman excited at feeding man microwave meals.

I think its sexist - do you?

[margarettom]

I’ve got more important things to worry about. Lockdown getting to you tamborine?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Old woman makes meal for old man -hold the front page! Good Grief!!!

[Mamyalynne]

This one?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Yes mama shocking isn't it? :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Never seen it until now, seems like she's pleased as punch not to be actually cooking.

[Mamyalynne]

I'll try and get outraged after I've eaten my home made steak pie.

[Chinajan]

It's twee and condescending but it would be equally twee and condescending were it a man feeding a woman microwave meals. So I don't see how it's sexist.

Mind you, it's the first time I've heard 'sticky toffee pudding' used as a euphemism for pensioner sex. So there's that.

[Buenchico]

Sexism in food advertising? Surely not! ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

That's your favorite Chris ;-)

[burlyshirley]

No, I don't think it's sexist. I think it's quite sweet, but I don't like the look of those meals though ...

[davebro]

I had their trial offer last year - about 10 meals. The few I ate were greasy tasteless mush. I binned the rest.

BUT they do get lots of 5* reviews on trustpilot so I guess there's no accounting for tastes.

[elliemay1]

Hope that review doesn't spoil her romantic dinner, dave!

[Vagus]

Nope, I don’t think it’s sexist but I don’t fancy their meals. Maybe I would if I was very elderly and couldn’t be bothered cooking.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm still trying to fathom out how pensioner sex differs from sex.

You don't have to be in the queue at the Post Office do you?

[Vagus]

Ooh, mamy, might try that and see what happens...

[Mamyalynne]

Well, it would live up a dull afternoon.

[The Builder]

Mamya, it probably means getting into bed and forgetting what you got in there for ;o)

[Vagus]

It would, especially if I took other half with me.
Would it require a squirt of perfume and/or aftershave d’you think??

[pastafreak]

*splutter* !!!! ^^^^^^

[pastafreak]

^^^^^...that was for The Builder
