"I'd walk by and pinch their bum or give them a slap.So what?"


says the eminently sensible and down to earth  former BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond. "A little office flirting  is good for morale."  And I agree totally.When the very likeable  world class Slovak cyclist Peter Sagan pinched a flower girl's  bottom on a podium in 2013, the politically correct  band  was in uproar.Utterly preposterous.We are so uptight about a little mischief that makes  the world go round.
I was in Warnemunde, Germany,about a month ago.  Walking while taking an important phone call, I passed  a man dressed as a white statue, suddenly I felt a pat on the bottom and heard  a whistle. I looked at him,burst out laughing,made a face, finished  the call,then took a picture of him.  An Englishwoman would have shouted  sexual harassment, an American would have hauled him in front of a judge demanding  a million $  for pain and suffering.
