Let's hear it for the boys
Not everyone's delighted with our thread about mothers who don't understand technology.
"Bet there won't be any tales of IT-inept dads. Wouldn't amuse the (presumably predominantly male) readership, would it?" asks a female reader.
Fair cop, we're bang to rights, but when it comes to making fun of our relatives we can honestly say that we're gender-neutral and hope you are too. Prove it, and pass on our apologies to mums who happily grasp science and technology.
But while we wait for funny male dimness: "In the days when cars had big shiny hubcaps, my mum spotted a large dent, on a neighbour's car near the top of the hubcap," says Martin Smale. "'That must have been a very high kerbstone he hit,' she said."
