The UK based Cancer Research Society has just finished a survey in which it concluded that the risks of breast cancer are drastically reduced if women do more housework. Just in case these modern misses who spend more time doing aerobics tried to dodge the issue by suggesting that they work out enough the study even went on to add that 'housework was much more beneficial than sport or exercise'.

Is this a cunning plot by unreformed sexists to put women 'back where they belong' and can we expect further health surveys soon which suggest that men,whose cancer risks are way outweighed by the risks of heart disease caused by stress and depression from their taxing executive jobs, would live much longer if they spent more time relaxing in the pub - while the women presumably get on with the housework?
