fi can I just point out virtually every public toilet I have seen uses Gentlemen and Ladies to indicate which one you should choose ... it's not a status thing just an identifier. I don't think choice of term is patronising to anyone, it's simply a synonym for female along with lady, girl, lass, lassie, Colleen, wife, gal, sister, Sheila, Judy, Broad, maid, maiden, damsel and gentlewoman to name a few. Rog I have no problem with using the term Ladies and Gentlemen. I just wouldn't use the term Lady in a situation where I wouldn't use the term Gentleman for the opposite sex. My first post on this highlighted this. Male synonyms include gentleman, guy, fellow, gent, bloke, chap, geezer, dude, hombre, lad and bro' to name a few. Rog

It's relevant cos it's fact. Rog What about the 'fact' that you're such an avid supporter of a knife wielding psychopathic internet stalking nutcase who's much closer to home. Your on-line stalking buddy Vince ' Mr Stabby' Coventon ?

An officer's training would have suggested they wait for assistance and support before entering the area of danger. Rog
Had this been in the UK then I think the above would have been correct, for the simple reason that UK police are not normally armed with guns, only Tasers and batons and spray. And a taser is no substitute for a gun when it comes to dealing with a fit crazed bloke with an enormous knife! But in Oz, the police are routinely armed with guns and that gives them a big advantage in terms of needing assistance or not. The only time it would be appropriate to wait for assistance would be if it was suspected that the bloke had a gun. But since no gun had been fired, this would seem unlikely and she will have been following her training by confronting the knifeman asap.

I disagree on virtually all points, but never mind.
In the USA last year after one of the numerous school shootings the local senior officer 'fell on his sword' and resigned because the police response secured the perimeter (as per their training) and awaited reinforcements, leaving the shooter to wander the school.
I appreciate the officer's training hopefully helped, but whether there was more than one assailant, what weapons were held, whether it was a terrorist attack and explosives were on site etc. etc. were simply unknowns and part of the ongoing chaos.
Despite that the officer discharged her duty, very bravely in my view.
We disagree, but that's okay.

That's far too complicated and technical for a simple minded, self-appointed forum administrator/control freak such as Alice to follow. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure the big chap that Indiana Jones shot, was carrying a scimitar, . . not a machete.

Although it was the principle I was going for, rather than the detail. If it can be confirmed that it was a scimitar in that film scene, . . perhaps you should explain to Alice, for the sake of clarity, that scimitars don't make any noise when fired either.
