I have a theory that, although we've been led to believe otherwise, women are rubbish at shopping! :P

Whenever El goes shopping for clothes, she usually comes back empty-handed, or with a small brush for cleaning potatoes or something. Whereas, if I go shopping for a new shirt or something, I'll probably come back with 6 shirts, some T-shirts, several pairs of jeans, a whole load of pants and a new jacket!

She says that's because women's fashions are dire at the moment and the decent stuff isn't in her size, but I reckon that's a smokescreen.
