Jack we all know that, even at your age, you are an incurable old romantic. I have a feeling that the rest of us just treat Valentines day with the derision it deserves, in other words, it is a commercial opportunity, and I can't help feeling that there are many who take advantage of that opportunity too.
OK, OK, I have to admit that I did give in and buy one stem red rose - £3.00 from Sainsbury's and a ready cooked heat and go dinner with 2 chocolat Guu's to follow and a quarter bottle of Proseco. They don't call me the last of the big spenders for nothing, in fact thinking about it, no-one does actually call me the last of the big spenders at all, but after 40 something years with the first wife, I find I'm not quite so romantic as I was in my mid 20's - I wonder why?
