Buy Nothing Day

No sex please… Till you’ve done the hoovering.

Inspired by the Women of Cameroon who refused to have sex with their husbands for over six months, protesting until the men had solved the problems posed by cattle trampling local crops, the women of Knutsford have decided to do likewise by saying no hey-ho for the mo.
The women say that since all-day opening was introduced in 1998 their men-folk have been spending all day in the pub instead of helping around the home or looking for a job.
Fanny Shaftbottom, spokeswoman for Knutsford’s local Women’s Liberation Union told BIGfib “Our men have a choice. It’s pub or passion, it’s whisky or women. They can’t have it both ways and until they get their acts together there will be no nookie in Knutsford.”
To find out how the men of the town were reacting BIGfib interviewed hundreds of Knutsford men last week but we were unable to find anyone personally affected by the strike.
Michael McGuinness was typical. “Sex strike ? Dunno what you mean really…” He told BIGfib. “Me and Shana are fine. There’s no strike in that department as far as I know, but then again, you know what it’s like when you’ve got kids… Anyway, can’t stop I’m off to the pub.”
