Women love to claim "girls mature faster than boys" but based on my observations over the years I've come to the conclusion that this simply isn't true.

Girls may learn to project a veneer of maturity at an earlier age but in reality they remain focused on childish things such as colouring their faces and hair, surrounding themselves with pretty soft furnishings, dressing in colourful garish outfits and churlishly sulking at perceived slights.

This kind of behaviour is so commonplace we don't even notice it any more.

When I saw the picture below it seemed perfectly normal at first, then I noticed how everyone was dressed.

The men, all in shirts and ties, nothing outrageous, dressed in a respectful manner befitting an historic occasion in the House of Commons.

The women came dressed like receptionists doing their shopping at ASDA.



Not you Mrs R and Auntie Andy, you're alright.
