So long as the person knows their shit, does good work,doesn't rip me off and is passionate about bikes I'd be happy to leave my bike with a female mechanic.

You thinking about doing it?

Screw what your dad thinks, tell him to get his head into the 21st Century

.

I will support my kids in whatever they want to do for a career, it's better to do something you enjoy doing AND get paid for it than hate the job and put up with it because you know nothing else.

...however, if any of my three wants to be a drug dealer or streetwalker I may change my tune and some remedial re-education may be called for

.

Grasp the nettle and just do it!

...didn't she work on trains?

I can remember something like locomotive (locomotion?) being involved in there somewhere...
