Janet Scott, president of the transvestites' campaign group the Beaumont Society, said: "This transvestite was asking for trouble and I have no sympathy with her."
Ms Scott, born a man but living as a woman, added: "If you take the trouble to look like a lady, you should behave like one and shave." - Mail on Sunday (Ron Rubin)
"Only when [the parents] heard teachers telling dirty jokes, having a fag and a pint, did they realise teachers are human." - Headteacher in the Times Educational Supplement (Nigel Hynes)
I thought it wise to inform your readers of a recent experience at Aubergine in Chelsea. Having drunk a most acceptable bottle of Chateau Gilette (about £120), we asked the sommelier for another bottle. It appeared we had consumed the last bottle, so we asked for something similar. Imagine our amazement when our bill included the second bottle, a Montrachet, itemised at £410. - Letter in the Sunday Times (Alan Leaman)
