Spyder Ski Store - and spotting fake ski gear

Ian,
When I made up my name I never even thought about the fact there was some famous man called AllyG, however he spells his name, or that people might not be able to tell whether new people were male or female. And, if you remember, I didn't have a clue about how to make an avatar.

Maybe there should be some code built into people's descriptions, like M or F so I wouldn't keep making these embarassing mistakes.

And, you know something else, everytime you say 'little Wickam' I think your daughter's a boy, because it sounds like Wickam Junior in a Jennings book, and then I remember that she's a girl.

I used to work for Tesco (gap year job) and our manager was really anal about the flowers too :wink:

But thats the fun side of this forum it is the visual picture you make of someone though the written word, I'm the same we tend to speed read so we miss the little male/female give aways which are always there. 8)

I've assumed Snow Time is male, but they might be female. Sorry Snow Time, are you male or female? I seem to continually make mistakes over this.

It's OK Ally, I'm male and your assumption was correct. I also have a 10 year old daughter, but she was poorly yesterday so my wife stayed at home with her to let the boys have a day on the slopes.
