Wake up women of Britain!

February 21, 2011

boredlady.jpgWord reached Guru's lughole earlier today that there was a dire shortage of bored women in UK businesses.

This came as no surprise, as Yours Truly has witnessed just how stifling the work environment can be for the female of the species.

After all, tea is usually supplied by outside caterers, and unless the company happens to be a laundry business, there are scant opportunities to do the washing and ironing.

Guru suggests that businesses invest in more kitchens and washrooms and encourage staff to bring their dirty linen into the workplace, where it can be thoroughly aired.

He sees this as the only way to attract more women to remain in the workplace long enough attain senior management status.
