“You wouldn’t know what to do with a woman anyway.”
— An alleged comment by Lucy Chilton, 42, to fellow Heathrow airport security guard Allwyn Rondeau, 46. Rondeau, who is gay and in a 15-year relationship, sued Chilton for sexual harassment — according to news reports, “He said he had made it clear that he was gay but she persisted in ‘wobbling her breasts’ over his chest and shaking her bottom at him” — and was recently awarded about £30,000 in compensation.
