GW reader, Steve said: “Good luck with your dreams, but be determined to turn them into reality.
“Go into it as a professional and you’ll come out as a professional.
“The professional training is key to your success.”
Commenting on the GW Facebook page, Nigel Pluck said: “Absolutely rubbish there is absolutely zero holding women back because everyone supports is either through morals or being destroyed if they don’t.

Rosana Linda Sherwood said: “Wow! All these comments.

“Hopefully, this will change.”
Replying to Rosana, Matt Seabrook said: “No place for it in 2018.”
