<p>Hello Judy,</p>
<p>I hope you're both enjoying life.</p>
<p>But what are "politically incorrect men"?</p>
<p>Not Tony. He couldn't be more polite.<br>

<p>Hi Jean Marc,</p>
<p> We saw the Chris Barber band three days ago. They do an annual
gig in a village hall on the Oxfordshire, Berkshire border. It's
a privilege to hear a group of astoundingly good musicians in
such an intimate session. I think the mare, mère confusion might
have started as a joke; Politically incorrect men used "mare"
to describe women sometimes. <br>
</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Jude<br>
