M&S creches for men

LONDON (Reuters) - Husbands fed up with their wives' Christmas shopping frenzies will be able to watch football in creches set up specially for men, Marks and Spencer has announced.


The creches are equipped with everything to keep men entertained while their other halves are punishing the plastic.


"The first day of our creche was very successful and there was a large demand from men ... and also from relieved women!" an M&S spokeswoman said on Thursday.


"Men can enjoy a drink, watch a film or a football match or even play like children with remote-control quad bikes," she added.


The creches -- which are for Christmas only -- opened on Thursday in M&S stores in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, the Metro Centre in Gateshead, Cardiff, Marble Arch in London and Meadowhall in Sheffield.
