Teresa, a retired resident from Hailsham, East Sussex, usually votes for the Liberal Democrats. She opts not to vote for the Labour Party due to living in an area where the main competition is between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. A fun fact about Teresa is that at 19 years old, she purchased an old taxi for £15, and when asked by the petrol station attendant how much she paid, he cleverly responded, “That’s a good buy – goodbye to 15 quid”.
Lyn, a retired social worker from London, typically supports the Labour Party. Although she occasionally votes for the Green Party and Liberal Democrats, she never votes for the Conservative Party. An interesting anecdote about Lyn involves her kitchen being infested with giant flying ants, leading to a horrifying massacre.
For their starters, Lyn enjoyed fresh pasta with asparagus and mascarpone, followed by a tube filled with ricotta, orange, and dark chocolate flavors. Teresa, on the other hand, had sea bass fillets with small prawns (which resembled shrimps to her) in a delicious butter and lemon sauce. Both of them found the dishes delightful.
During their conversation, the topic of the proposed changes to the gender recognition act in Scotland came up. Teresa expressed concern about individuals aged 16 to 25 not having the maturity to make life-altering decisions. However, Lyn had previously read about the Scottish bill, which was blocked by the UK government, and explained that individuals from the age of 16 were allowed to live as the gender they identified with. After six months, they would be able to obtain a birth certificate reflecting their chosen gender. Lyn expressed worries about the lack of safeguards and protection for vulnerable individuals.
Teresa argued that there are children with unsupportive parents who experience gender dysphoria and may suffer due to restrictions on gender recognition applications. She also pointed out that a diagnosis from a psychiatrist is still required for gender dysphoria, despite it no longer being recognized as a psychiatric condition. Lyn agreed with Teresa’s viewpoint but mentioned that her hearing was not the best and had difficulty hearing Teresa’s soft voice.
They also discussed their experiences with bereavement. Teresa had lost her partner to lung cancer, while Lyn’s husband suddenly passed away without showing any signs of illness. Both agreed that the National Health Service (NHS) is not adequately funded.
Towards the end of their meal, the topic of Brexit emerged. Teresa admitted to being a remainer or even a rejoiner, while Lyn revealed that she had voted for Brexit but had since changed her mind due to the various consequences. This caused a slight disruption in the conversation.
In the end, both Teresa and Lyn enjoyed their lunch and found the experience to be pleasant. They even joked about claiming Alzheimer’s as an excuse for not covering enough ground in their conversation. They expressed their appreciation for the meal and the beautiful restaurant they dined at in Crawley.
