8 March

[mendeleyev]

8 март, International Women's day is a day to forget at your own peril. This is to Eastern European and Asian women as to Valentine's in the West.  Even though Valentine's day is catching on, it lags behind 8 March and today is a great day to send your lady flowers, chocolates, etc.

The general rule for local men is to honour their wife or girlfriend, mother, daughters, grandmother, aunts, close cousins, etc. Obviously you make these gifts first to wife or girlfriend, then mother and work your way down. All gifts do not need to be equal, be sensible.

We wish a special greeting to the ladies here on this day!

With apologies to Olly, I didn't see at first that you had already started an 8 March thread.

Perhaps the moderators can merge this one with hers. Sorry.
