Do you have plans this Valentine’s Day? Or do you simply see this day as grossly commercialised? I wouldn’t say I am a huge fan who goes all out but then I am not going to say no to a bunch of flowers and a nicer meal out than our usual Tuesday night pizza and beer dinner date! ‘Can you not show your love all year round?’ or ‘It’s such a pain going out the same night as everyone else’ the pessimists say.
