	When I was only 22 I walked past a building site, my back was towards some workmen and they all whistled at my rear view! I turned round and they all burst out laughing I was a very round 9 months pregnant but didn't show from the back. I laughed too as it was quite funny at the time.
	Researching: Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

	Wolf whistling is a show of appreciation. Not sexist, cos I often get wolf-whistled. No surprise to me that you were their object of attention. Laughing at someone (if I remeber my O level Psychology) is to emphasise that they really admire you. That's the way I take it when anyone laughs at me and my cap :-D :-D
	Researching: Amelie my granddaughter's ancestry. My ban until 1 Jan 2021
