Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 My DH just sent me this - think he's trying to tell me something? Mind you, I can't remember the last time I took him shopping for anything! Shopping 'bad for men's health' Researchers claim shopping is bad for men's health. Tests on a man sent to London's Oxford Street showed his blood pressure rose to dangerous levels. The study also found one in five Britons suffer from shop rage while waiting in queues. The research was carried out for a BBC documentary called Shopology, reports the Daily Record. The study found the average person spends three days a year standing in queues. It claims there are masculine and feminine approaches to shopping. Psychologist Dr Mark Ritson said: " The masculine buyer is concerned with construction, the quality of the overall product and how it is made. " The feminine shopper knows style and colour, but claims to be ignorant about the more practical side. " Shopology is scheduled to go out on BBC on September 2.
