    Who participates in this Rip Off ****e!

    Much better to surprise your loved one, sponatneously, any other day of the year that do it on VD.

    I'll be on my monthly trip to Sunderland dogs tomorrow night with my mate.

    Romance is not on the agenda tomorrow

    With you being at the dogs tomorrow night, Jack, romance might still be on the agenda for Mrs. Ford <whistle>

    Massive waste of money. Designed to help the floral, confectionery and greeting cards businesses.

    If you want to show your love for someone, you've got 365 days a year (366 this year!) to do it.

    not really into Valentines day, but, is always a good excuse for the current Mrs Flanders to let me cash in a nookie coupon ..who said romance is dead.

    Actually the only day I subscribe to now is Mothers Day. Think Fathers Day is another money making scheme and my offspring fully respect my views on this subject

    FFS you can even by birthday cards sent from your dog or suchlike! Or Mother in laws lover. Load of ****e!

    We've been married 50 years in December and never done Valentine's Day, so never been conned into that one.
    As it's been said there's plenty other days to show your other half you love them.

    Bleedin Hell. 14 years longer than me.

    Probably only us oldies that have this attitude towards it?

    If we make it to August Mrs. A. and I will celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary, we'll have been together for 43 years if we just make it to the end of May, and we've never acknowledged Valentines Day . . . . we decided right from the start that it was just a money making exercise, for the people that exploit and profit from it :rolleyes:

    Love is an all year thing to us <smooch> . . . . not just one day, when somebody else decides :emoticon-0148-yes:

    She and my boy, Adam, are the best things that have ever happened to me :emoticon-0105-wink:

    n.b. She knows that my first love is still S.A.F.C. mind :emoticon-0115-inlov

    Absolutely spot on mate, forced predictable clichés aren't in the least bit romantic.

    I have quite a romantic side so agree entirely. I'm always thinking of ways to show my affection and appreciation.

    Mrs Smug is the same so it works well.

    One thing I have noticed is that, in general, lasses always claim to want romance ...

    ... but the majority of them never do anything remotely romantic for their man.

    Surely, in these supposedly sexual equality times the lasses should show some imagination.

    Different for me. I met my beautiful wife 20 years ago on Valentine's night **** faced in a pub in Aldershot. She had blue shoes on (the suede type) so I done my best impression, dance and all, to a rendition of a famous Elvis song. She's still with me and feck knows why:emoticon-0115-inlov

    So I have to celebrate it..:emoticon-0152-heart:emoticon-0152-heart
