Valentine blues

Personally, I don't look forward to Valentines day.  Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against being romantic to the other 'alf  I just don't like to be told when I should be romantic and then having to pay through the nose for anything that looks remotely like a rose.   As my wife knows only to well I am constantly spontaneous with romantic gestures! Ahem!  All joking aside if I'm honest if valentines didn't exist I probably wouldn't have the opportunity to pay a shed load of money for a bit of folded card, stuff it in a red envelope and lick that disgusting glue.  Yum!
