Re: Quarterly "news" about marriage

Wow, Dave, that's a trigger-packed newsletter!

The item that made me gasp in horror was this:
Quote:
Real women do not want to commit full time to a job.
The report contained lots of fascinating information - and highlighted issues our society is still failing to address. But what's that about? I don't find household management anything like as interesting as my job. Am I not, then, a real woman??!

And my inner pedant can't resist pointing out this:
Quote:
Only two in three children have married parents
means the same as this:
Quote:
Only six in ten children share a home with both parents
Yup, that's the same 60% making two headlines! How about:
Quote:
More than half of UK families stay together, children growing up with both parents


Thanks, as ever. Happy Christmas!
