MEN can only shop till they drop for 72 minutes according to a recent survey.

In my experience that's a load of tosh.

I've yet to find one that knows what the inside of a supermarket looks like or where clothes can be bought.

As for gifts, well that's a matter of buying your own. For that I am most grateful.

I enjoy shopping by myself at a speed of knots. I couldn't be doing with a whinger tagging behind -- and I can buy everything that I like.

Most men I know are only capable of two minutes of retail therapy -- popping in to the offy for booze or fags.
