BRITAIN'S housewives would earn the equivalent of £30,000 a year if someone paid them to eat Jaffa Cakes all day, according to new research.
 Busy, busy, busy
Although Jaffa Cakes often overlap with other household tasks, including phone calls and magazines, an increasing number of women are now forced to set aside at least two hours a day as 'Jaffa Cake time'.
Dr Henry Brubaker, director of the Institute for Studies, said: "A professional Jaffa Cake eater is £20 an hour, easy.
"Then there's the £30 an hour you'd have to pay a nutritionist to sit around all afternoon with her bloated friends, drinking tea and comparing live yoghurts.
"And I certainly would not want to have to pay a head chef to drive to the retail park three times a week and pick up a large cardboard bucket filled with deep-fried chicken parts."
Dr Brubaker said the study did not included a figure for childcare, adding: "Why else would they be there?"
Tom Logan, a 42 year-old engineer from Bath, said: "If you want to pay thirty grand a year for my wife's cooking, be my fucking guest."
