COME, come, Mrs Christine Wilkin-Wyke (LET, March 4) -- what's wrong at being called cock?

You say you were shocked and offended. All I can say it doesn't take much to offend you, but travel the world my dear and I guess you could be called more than cock.

Maybe where the ward sister who caused offence comes from people are addressed as 'cock.'
