Valentines Day.  Desperate men on the petrol station forecourt fighting over the last bunch of flowers, which have doubled in price from the week before, chocolate overload, and that “which one of us has to cook as we can’t go out for an expensive meal this year”, oh, and love, forgot that bit.  I tried to help, a few songs about the day, some sad some soppy.
