Who cares about becoming invisible?

I've been thinking about the recent thread bemoaning the apparent invisibility of women over forty. Invisible to whom? And why does it matter? Anyway, I've decided to collect examples of people (men and women) who should be our role models ... here are just two that were featured in the news today:

Worth a try, Galen. Can I be there when you try it? grin

I'm sure you could have a bespoke horn, Galen, though it might cost a small fortune. It would clear the street!

Didn't they ban those 'musical' car horns? Still worth a try with a mobility scooter, though - some of them are so quiet they can creep up on you and give you quite a fright when you're on foot...

I'm not a car. I'm a scooter. Peep peep. Peep peep. My horn goes peep peep peep!

I know, Galen, but you were asking about getting one which played the grand march from Aida...confused

Here is a nice unicorn horn, but there is no indication of how loud it is.

She often drives me mad but today Janet Street Porter wrote (in the Daily Mail) about the reality for women like us and said that to pretend it's all glamour and adventure is to live in a dreamworld. Hear, hear, Janet!
