Talking of 21st century man feeling inadequate (as I was the other day if only you'd been paying attention), a reader, Johann Marx, has sent me some etiquette rules for men in the hope, I think, that it might help to restore their masculinity.
l Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.
l It is okay for a man to cry ONLY under the following circumstances: (a) When on TV a heroic dog dies to save its master. (b) After wrecking his boss's car. (c) When the power goes off while watching a rugby or soccer final.
l Moaning about the brand of free beer in a mate's fridge is forbidden. Complain only if the temperature is unsuitable.
