It's official: Women spend 5 hrs a day chatting, gossiping!

London, August 15 (ANI): It's official. Women are indeed the queens of gossiping.

survey, which was commissioned to mark FirstCape Cafi Collection's search to find Britain's Queen of Chat, has revealed that the typical woman spends five hours a day - more than a third of her waking hours - chatting and gossiping.

The study found that whether at home or work, women natter for about 298 minutes every day.

Discussing other people's problems, who is dating whom and other people's children form the basis of most of the chats.

Other subjects that come up most regularly include sex, shopping and the soaps such as 'Eastenders' or 'Coronation Street'.

The report also found women spend 24 minutes a day discussing their weight, diets and dress size.

And one third of women said they spend a chunk of their day discussing what they are eating for lunch, while one quarter regularly exchange recipes.

"Woman are renowned for their ability to chat and men are fascinated by what they find to talk about when they get together," the Daily Mail quoted spokesman Steve Barton as saying.

"So much chatter is done with friends over food and a glass of wine. It is clearly very much a breaking bread occasion," Barton added. (ANI)
