Women think of shopping as much as men think about sex By David Wilkes Last updated at 11:17 PM on 10th June 2008 Comments (0) Add to My Stories Three out of four young women think about shopping nearly as often as men think about sex, it is claimed. Thoughts of buying that new dress or a much sought-after pair of shoes pop into their heads every 60 seconds, according to a survey by the self- styled 'on-line fashion bible' cosmopolitan.co.uk. Assuming eight hours of sleep a night, that means shopping trips consume their thoughts an astonishing 960 times a day and 6,720 times a week. Other studies have previously claimed to uphold the commo…

Trainspotters are an endangered species, driven out by officialdom, hypersecurity and a lamentable lack of fashionAndrew Martin It took me a day and a half of searching before I found any trainspotters in London. They were standing at the far end of Platform 8 at King's Cross. David Burrell carried a camera, Paul Rea a notebook. They were both in their sixties, both down from Manchester and staying in West Hampstead, which they found convenient for Willesden Junction. Our conversation was hampered by several modern railway blights. There was nowhere to sit and there was nowhere to dispose of our cardboard coffee cups; we kept being interrupted by announcements telling u…

The Bush administration faced criticism when details emerged of its programme to monitor the phone calls of foreign targets in the US without warrants. Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama voted in favour of the measure. His decision to back the bill drew criticism from some of his supporters, who pointed to past statements in which Mr Obama had pledged to block any bill which granted immunity to telecommunication c…

Britons must stop wasting food in an effort to help combat rising living costs, Gordon Brown has said as he travelled to the G8 summit in Japan. The PM said "unnecessary" purchases were contributing to price rises, and urged people to plan meals in advance and store food properly. A government study found the UK wastes 4m tonnes of food every year, adding £420 to a family's shopping bills. Rising prices and the world economy are due to dominate the annual G8 summit. The Cabinet Office report, due to be published later, claims that up to 40% of food harvested in developing countries can be lost before it is consumed, due to the inadequacies of processing, s…
