I don't want to condone the type of behaviour apparently witnessed at this event, though I do feel that it was clear what type of event it was before it happened. It was a charity event levering the fact that many, maybe even most, men enjoy being served fine food and drink by attractive and approachable attractive women and are willing to pay a lot of money for it.
After all it's not as if the women involved did not know the score, they were not being paid the minimum wage, they were apparently paid £170 plus travel for the evenings work, that's not waitress pay.
So what more worrying, that a gentlemen's event got a little out of hand, or that all and sundry are distancing themselves from it as quick as they can in case they are associated with something that might be seen to be sexist in this new puritanical age that we are in?
Even the charities involved, who have benefited substantially for many years, are even proposing to return donations received.
