WOMEN fed up with their menfolk moaning while out Christmas shopping can now leave them to play in their own in-store creche.
| Hurrah! the saloon's making a comeback! |
| We have those here at the mall, called Hooters |
Marks and Spencer, the venerable British department store chain, said Wednesday it was creating playpens for men in six of its stores, fully equipped with everything to keep the guys entertained for hours.
The lads will be able to settle back in sofas and watch a selection of films and TV programmes such as The Best of Monty Python and Football's Greatest Ever Matches.
| Huh? Sounds like some sort of piano bar... |
Each area will also boast a Scalextric slot-car racing set, remote-control quad bikes and walkie-talkies. The creches open at Marks and Spencers' flagship store at Marble Arch in London, and at selected outlets in Edinburgh and Aberdeen in Scotland, Cardiff in Wales, and Sheffield in north-central England.
| Egg jelly, I was envisioning something with a player piano and spitoons. And a large picture of a reclining, unclad fat lady behind the bar... |
| "Ms. Streisand! Get down from there right now!" |
