Hi, I've just mailed my
(female) cousin to recommend Richard Dawkin's C4 program tomorrow night. I suggested that if the content wasn't interesting,
he was known as the 'thinking woman's crumpet'. Recalling that the phrase 'thinking man's crumpet' was originally applied
to Hannah Gordon in the 70's, I did a Google search - and found your site. Interesting! Page 3 glamour girls were two-a-penny in
the 70's, but Hannah Gordon, intelligent, dignified, serious, ...etc, was considered the most beautiful woman of her generation.
The 'thinking man's crumpet' description was known nationally and appeared regularly in newspapers and on TV. I wasn't
aware of the difficult life that she had experienced - that might partly explain the slightly serious air she displayed
which, coupled to the beautiful features, set her apart from her peers. Just out of interest.
Thanks, Herb
Dear Herbert,
Thank you very much for your email! I
can agree with everything you say there. Hannah is lovely I have heard so many people say so. In fact, I don't think anyone
has ever said anything bad! Hope you continue to enjoy the site!
