Valentines Day, right. What's that all about?
OK we all know we're getting ripped off at Clintons - £4.95 for a piece of card and a red envelope? Come on! And don't even get me started at the extortionate prices florists charge for roses. Mercenary bastards!!!
Things is, you know the way they start flogging Easter eggs in January? Well I've noticed this year that there's a whole new sector sprung up - catering for all the men who forgot, or remembered and thought they could get away with not sending flowers and that a £4.95 card would do the job.
I left the office last night and there were hordes (I kid you not) of chinese people flogging single roses from a bucket. They don't miss a trick do they. Anyway, I went for a beer and when I left the bar the buckets were pretty much empty, so business must be good.
Still, I'm sure they're all VAT registered and declare the income on their tax returns. I also believe that pigs and DC10s can fly, lever is pronounced levver, and that Bob Hope is going to live forever.
