Much more local. And she's been on TV too.

She's the blacksmith on the Friday night programme "Made in Britain"?  I enjoyed that series.

To be honest I don't see anything special about being a female blacksmith. The only real barrier to entry to it is artistic talent, you certainly don't need to be the big burly bloke that is always portraide on TV and in book's. Using the correct size hammer and a good quality anvil with a good rebound to it is 100% more important thay physical prowess. 

I'm a big burley bloke who happens to be learning to Smith both in my own forge and on the odd course, the last course I did I was between 2 other people, a 78 year old bloke and a mid 20s office lass. They pretty much matched me blow for blow for the full 8 hours.

Difference between a blacksmith and a farrier is more pronounced these days. Regardless of gender, there's a fair bit of strength required to persuade a big hoss to cooperate

There is but the op was talking about a female blacksmith not a female farrier. There are women farriers but as you say it does require a degree of strength.

Give him time, he's just building up to asking him out on a date

I guess it is a comment on Paul's annoying habit of posting YouTube links without comment exept for the thread title.

From the utterly random stuff it´s like a bored old pensioner that´s just been shown how internet works by his carer

Correct.  I thought it was pretty evident; apologies if not.
