The male/female ratio has improved a bit since then.
 
M1795537OCVirn
So she's the token female, but where's the token foreign person

If they're proper 1970s researchers, they'll be down the boozer within 20 minutes.

No-one in the seventies ever regretted wearing beige.

She's not having a good day, is she? A bundle of nerves.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Cygnus Bazza
She should be thankful she's not working in a signal box

Has she had a nervous breakdown? She is a bit OTT.

Think I'm going to be a recluse when I grow up.
