It's not so many decades ago that my Irish Catholic GP refused to prescribe the Pill to me (I had been taking it for years for reasons other than contraception!). He told me to go off and have children!!! I wasn't even married lmao I had to go to the clinic at the local Hospital in the end.
I'm also reminded of the Jewish firm of solicitors I worked with. Only one of the Jewish partners wore a skull cap and word had it that, had he been interviewed by Jewish partners in the firm, he would NEVER have been given permission to wear it at work!
Funny old life, isn't it. I found some kosher dill pickles in a supermarket here the other day; wandered about with a smile on my face for the rest of my shopping trip. :D
