And that includes some women who are not ladies..... but not all women or all ladies....I think I have got that right..... Years ago a woman was heard complaining outside the public lavs in Sidmouth. It went something like this, " Why is it that the men's lavatory is labelled Gentlemen and ours is labelled Women? Ours should be labelled Ladies." A voice near me in the crowd said in a very loud voice, "My definition of a lady is a woman who doesn't mind being called a woman." Nooo….It’s Mothers’ Day!

You walked in off the street onto the plushest carpet and exquisite perfume scents filled the air. As a young lady we would try a different perfume on each visit. Oh the fun!

Years ago there was a very ritzy department store in Philadelphia where all the Salesladies weighed 80 pounds,wore long black dresses and had their eyeglasses hanging around their neck on a pearl chain. They were VERY intimidating to a poor young girl like myself. So, if I ever wanted to shop there (which was seldom) I had to go to a less expensive store and buy an outfit to wear to the ritzy store; and still I never made the grade.. You may think I am joking but it's TRUE! Grannymar,

They took her to court to get her to change the name but obviously she won. It must have caused manys a laugh. :) I recall hearing that Anita Roddick’s first ‘Body Shop’ was situated between two undertakers.
