A further education college is having to protect builders from wolf-whistling girls, in a reversal of traditional gender stereotypes.
Officials at West Kent College in Tonbridge, Kent, sent an email to all pupils warning that the behaviour was "totally unacceptable", and saying any students caught harassing contractors would face disciplinary action.
The email was sent after a demolition team started work on a £94 million, three-year building project at the campus.

A spokeswoman for the contractors said they had had no registered complaints, but they didn't condone inappropriate behaviour from any parties on their sites.
and meanwhile, The Sexual Offences (Scotland) Bill will be made to say a new offence will be "communicating indecently" punishable by up to 10 years in jail. this is more to do with emails, texts and letters, but will include "sexually explicit comments to strangers".
workmen can be convicted of Breach of the Peace when making obscene comments to passers-by at present.
so keep your comments to yourselves in the U.K. :crazy:
