I read in the paper today that northern men do four times as much housework as southerners! Yeah right! Is that after they come out of their pigeon lofts, down 14 pints of beer, fart, give the wife a smack for having the temerity to voice an opinion and spend the family income in the bookies?

Yes.. regarding our house ratio, ..one out of three northern men ARE domestic.. but that is also one out of three MEN.. is the subject getting mistier? Is mistier a word? Should it be? How about the formula ..Most men notice when other men are more domestic than them.. lethargy being the usual? Mississipi.. you must be a southern jessie.. are you not?.. anybody who takes any notice of anybody even faintly northern must be from the south.. most northerners don't notice anything at all.. and, by god, that's why we love 'em. What?

Simple one. Most Northerners live within a few miles of work and get home in time to make the tea and do a spot of ironing. Most Southerners (or at least South-easterners) spend about two hours each way commuting because they have to work in London but want to live somewhere reasonably nice, and the price they pay, apart from financial rip-offs like train fares, is that they're utterly knackered all week.

Maybe this is one of those statistical tricks. Maybe four times some number approaching zero is still a small number approaching zero? Then again, never having lived with either a southern male of a northern male, I really can't say for sure. :)))

I though all men where the same - where ever they come from - runs and hides under desks - as I see the onslaught of "Oh No they're not" - pantomine dispute being thrown at me Anyway if we continual go by stats or what the papers say we'd not live or should that be we'd have a very boring life I could just imagine it - "No I can't go out with you for a meal to night as I stand a 56% chance of get food poisioning so I don't want to risk it!" "No I don't think we should go to the pub, I stand to get a 99% blinding headache in the morning !" "Oh I shouldn't talk to a man who has wears glasses as he might turn out to be ........... "don't drink coffee it effects your .........

I think I might have skewed the statistics, being the Northern Man who does the housework for everyone else.

I live with a Southern man who'd already employed a cleaner before I got here - suits me!
