Okay, for those not in the know this basically translates as ‘respect’ or the ‘loss of respect’ or something along those lines.

You might think that we have managed to move on. No, we have not!. Maybe we have a little but what was once baystee is no longer baystee. And what is baystee now didn’t matter in the days of towel nappies.

Is it baystee when your wife walks into the front room when the blokes are sat there? Is it baystee if your dad breaks wind in public? Is it baystee if you daughter is spotted with a bloke in town? Is it baystee if you end up getting seven ‘e’ grades at GSCE’s?

Is it baystee if you go to a wedding and leave without giving the bride and groom their tenner?

Is it baystee if you serve them Tesco cola at home rather than the real thing?

Baystee has now morphed into so many things. The way a woman dressed was considered ‘baystee’. Remember that time when a woman got grief for wearing jeans.

Those days she wore jeans and it was a huge deal. Now, jeans it the norm. As are leggings. In fact, short skirts with leggings is okay too? Even if she has a scarf on? It is fashion they say.

What about the time you ran out of rotees (chapatti) at a wedding? The sheer horror of running out of rotee at a wedding would have sent many of us looking for the nearest cave.

Nowadays they can’t wait to kick you out. If you dare say anything they all look at you as if you are backward.

And what happened to the time when it was ‘intense baystee’ for the woman to be working and the bloke to be sat at home adjusting his nara? Most men are so happy doing the latter.

What about the baystee of being spotted holding the hand of your wife in public or sitting on the same sofa as her? Oh, the sheer embarrassment of doing either. The sitting on the same sofa thing is a firm favourite of mine.

Come to think of it the whole thing about baystee revolves around how a bloke feels when a woman behaves differently?

Funny that eh?
