IT is very rare that an attractive young female can walk down a street without lewd, bawdy and sexist remarks being made about her.

Every night on the TV we see really attractive females being referred to as "stupid cows".

So it was especially nice to read Matthew Woodcock's tribute to his wife and his appreciation of her skills as a cook and a housemaker (December 31). His obvious pride in his new status and new home does him credit.

Mrs C P Hogarth,

Bradley Crescent,
