Default Wolf whistling - what do you think?

Following on from the news that Wimpey has banned its employees on building sites from wolf whistling at women because it makes them feel uncomfortable what do you think? Are you a whistler? Do you like to be on the receiving end of them?

Personally at my age I'll take all the wolf whistles I can get, on Monday I got whistled at by some builders as I was crossing the road and it made my year, in fact I'm still smiling about it five days later

It's made me feel far from uncomfortable, in fact it's given my poor old ego a massive boost

I think wolf-whistling might be ok, but I wouldn't do it myself. Trouble is, many blokes on sites aren't content with that and make horrible ribald remarks at the women walking by as well - I think that's unacceptable.

Depends on the women. You found it exciting and an ego boost. My 19 yr old sister who is slim and blond is very easily intimidated and would have been very uncomfortable, if not scared. My girlfriend would have just ignored it !

If i ran a business and the staff were whistling at clients coming to buy (which is EXACTLY what this is about) i would sack anyone whistling at them.

Anyone that thinks its PC has clearly no idea - its about MONEY and not pissing off the women who have it and want to buy a house!

Being taught how to whistle with your fingers shoul dbe part of the national curriculum. I can't tell you the amount of time it has come in handy when I wanted to stop a cab, alert this kids to something, get someones attention, and of course, wolf whistle.

Same here. My brother can do it and its ear splitting. I just gob all over myself.

Personally I think women should be forced to do it to men. Its discrimination to assume men have to do all the whistling.

Wimpy must be a bit behind. Wolf whistling at women was banned on building sites about 15years ago!

I'd advise not buying a house off of a company so far behind the time's, or at least check they've put modern things like electricity in the house. Might be woth making sure it has an indoor toilet as well if you must buy from them.

This is about right. As much as whistling can be fine there is also some small knobbed numpty that can go overboard and sound plain crass.

My wife never has a problem with either however and has been known to challenge Mr small **** - big gob, only to leave him with his mates laughing at him and not with him.

It also has a bit to do with surroundings where a building site would be better than an office.
