LONDON (Reuters) - Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey -- perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions -- said on Friday.
Electrical retailer Comet surveyed 2,000 Britons, asking them what they would give up for a large television, one of the latest consumer "must-haves."
The firm found 47 percent of men would give up sex for half a year, compared to just over a third of women.
"It seems that size really does matter more for men than women," the firm said.
A quarter of people said they would give up smoking, with roughly the same proportion willing to give up chocolate.
That's true. They get exhausted by our enormous British genitalia. The poor girls need a night to relax with some oestrogen-loaded American man who equates gun ownership with virility.
And if that seems a little confrontational, well you started it mush.
Do I get credit for time served?
It takes a lot of saving that's what. My Brit in-laws pay double for just about everything you can name. After a visit to our house a few years ago, one Brit bro-in-law took advantage of our neighbors generosity and curiosity (we live a block away from a neighborhood airstrip), and received a lot of free flights during his stay. He was all enthusiastic about getting his pilots license when he returned to England. But the cost of flying lessons in Britain was so prohibitive, he had to give up his dream.
Practically everything major they buy they must save years for. Plus they must purchase a separate license for all tvs. However they never complain about high costs, and are excellent at saving money.
LOL! Not you, your wife.......By the way, its a 60" plasma tv..........

Then you havent seen much.
We have our ugly and fat women, but plenty of cute and beautiful women and British celebs are amongst the best looking in the world...
Americans dont actually believe all British people have bad teeth and pasty skin, do they?.
Why?.
Newsflash: most of you arent George Clooney or Brad Pitt, youre average looking men just like the British male.
Yeah, just the 30 million of us or so...
????
As easy as you.
Oh aye, and you Yanks are just all a slim, handsome bunch....
‘Practically everything major they buy they must save years for.’
Oh bollocks.
Britain has been a ‘buy now, pay later’ society since the 70’s and in fact we are spending so much up front our money experts are predicting a huge bust in the British economy, with rising debt and house reposessions.
Apologies,and its not personal, but some of the ‘facts’ I read about Britain and how the British people live from Americans are either way off or just myths.
Ahh, we’re just having a bit of fun goofing on the stereotypes of foreigners. It keeps our fat, crude, militant asses happy.
Are you here or over there?
Seems to me I read that British males were right behind Germans in the small penis department. ;-)
There.
Ayrshire, s/w Scotland (30m sw of Glasgow)
This just shows what hermaphrodite gay-wads the Brits have become.
“Half of UK men would swap sex for 50 inch TV”
Yeah, but would they be the master of their domain?
ROTFL
Cheers!
