Communications Commissioner Margot Wallström and Caroline Lucas MEP were on Woman's Hour today talking about the reasons why 'the best jobs in Europe' are taken by men. Very interesting - it's apparently not to do with 'glass ceilings' or 'sticky floors', but with a 'layer of men'.
I heard the programme whilst driving over the Pennines to an EIA Committee meeting in Leeds, and was irritated to hear - and later to see on the programme summary - that Mrs Wallström was referred to as 'THE Vice-President of the European Commission'. She isn't of course - she's one of FIVE Vice-Presidents, which is rather different. It's a pity people can't get it right - though I noticed that she didn't correct the mistake.
