WOMEN from Brentford wear the trousers in the bedroom, according to a survey released this week.

According to Premier Lodge hotel, who carried out the survey prior to the official launch of their hotel on Ferry Road next week, the survey revealed that 53 per cent of Brentford women tell their partner when they can go to bed, while 26 per cent choose what their men wear beneath the sheets and 24 per cent decide when to turn out the light.

But Brentford men got their own back, with 73 per cent of them saying they would rather go to any local football match than spend the morning in bed with their loved one. 81 per cent said they would ideally have a TV in every room in the house, including the bathroom, to make sure they didn't miss a minute of the game.

Even if they had the TV in the bathroom, however, according to the survey, 65% of them would have to be using the shower gel of their partner’s choice.

Residents' most annoying bedtime habit is their partners taking over their side of the bed, with 51 per cent of locals claiming this was the most irritating tendency, ahead of snoring (49 per cent), hogging the covers (11 per cent) and talking in their sleep (7 per cent).

Pop Idol judge, Simon Cowell, is the premier choice amongst women in the town when asked who they would like to take away on a dream weekend, while 51 per cent of female respondents admitting uniforms set them off for a night of passion, particularly firemen, policemen and doctors.

69 per cent of the men admitted Cat Deely would be their ideal date.

42 per cent of married and cohabiting males are woken up by their partner, but married and cohabiting couples in Brentford make more time for breakfast in the morning than singles, who prefer to grab a bagel on the way to work.
