I know that all stereotypes are flawed, but they do tend to show a trend.
Mrs Rhubarb was employed for many years as a cartographical draughtsperson (actually, for so many years that when she started she was a draughtswoman! )
I, for many years, was a professional driver.
She and I drove in car rallies (yes - in a MG!) at one pint in our life, as did many of our friends. Typically, the male spouse held the steering wheel, the female one, the map. Mrs R and I often won the rallies and were always highly placed.
Now, you would have thought that having a woman who drew maps for a living as navigator would give us a decided edge on that side of things whilst having an ex-professional driver at the wheel might help in the car handling bit.
But it were her what drove an' me what navigated - always!
