Those lazy husbands
Men are lazy in the home, according to an official survey published today.
They have about six hours a week more free time than wives, but play very little part in cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing, according to the social trends survey by the central statistical office.
Nearly three quarters of married women claimed to do all or most of the housework, and among married men the proportion who admitted that their wives did all or most of the housework was only slightly lower.
The survey showed that washing and ironing was the least popular task among men, with only one per cent performing this duty, compared with 89 per cent of women, and 10 per cent sharing equally. Only 5 per cent of men prepare the evening meal, 3 per cent carry out household cleaning duties, 5 per cent household shopping, and 17 per cent wash the evening dishes.
But when household gadgets break down, repair are carried out by 82 per cent of husbands.
The survey says that, despite economic problems, the majority of Britons are substantially better than a decade ago. We're healthier, too - eating healthier foods and smoking less.
The average Briton, not surprisingly, is more widely travelled than a decade ago. Most people are going abroad for holidays, with Spain the favourite destination.
