You must have lived in a very strange place then, I was born and bred in E13 and lived in the area for donkey's years and we certainly had more respect for women than to call them 'tarts' of any sort.
I had more than enough grief with the first strife and she was many things, a spitting cobra or Lernaean Hydra but tart, never.
