Males' creche
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4081251.stm
Just how long has it taken for this to be thought up?? If ever I'm out shopping with a woman I can always be found in the BBC (bored boyfriend's corner) milling about with other equally shell-shocked looking blokes.
Nice one Marks and Sparks!!

Re: Males' creche
They have been highlighted every now & again for years.
never actually seen one though.
Given how few of them there are, most likely never will either.

I think people would appreciate more seating i.e. chairs scattered throughout the stores just so you can sit down while your shopping companions/ husbands/ wives etc. can check out potential purchases. Having designated areas is a bit like being told to stand in the corner at school.

The only conceivable reason I can see for that aberration is so that you can attempt to have some influence over what your monies being spent on
They always manage to slip something into the basket that you miss until its too late though

Yes, I enjoy shopping with my wife too. Some shops we go in together and other times we split up to go to different shops because our interests are different.It works well for us.
And BTW, I don't wear dresses either!!
