Noticed that as well! you have to be careful what you say on telly radio etc as every word is monitored and used for debate! It may have been said in"jest" But wrong type of expression!! People do say things of "the cuff" but on telly etc you have to be one step ahead and think before you speak!
I didn't think anything of it - and i still don't now people have pointed it out. If a man said it, that would be tactless, but equally possible in a 'live' situation when people don;t always think ahead.
