Valentine credit card massacre.

Well I went to that "toffs" supermarket in West Ealing last night to pick up some romantic paraphernalia for my Valentine of over 30 years and what greeted me?   The end of one gondola with 1/2 a dozen Purple Ronnie cards and a very small selection of chocolates, well I ask you a Purple Ronnie for my wife (don't even go there!!).I walked out of there empty handed and went to the "plebes" supermarket at Hoovers and what a selection of goodies awaited me -100s of cards dozens of boxes of chocs and flowers galore and a long line of men like me at the 10 items or less checkout (I'm sure that man in front had 11 items). Spoilt for choice I was, spoilt for choice.Is romance in West Ealing/Ealing dead or have the men no money left after buying that diamond trinket for their loved ones, are you presenting it to her this evening then, over a romantic meal????.P.S.  Traffic light roses - 5 for £5.00      Tesco roses         - 12 for £4.75 - but of course I bought a much larger bouquet than that!

Any one else as fed up as me with the environmental lobby trying to engender guilty feelings if you buy imported blooms?

The party went well despite an extra 5 surprise attenders. Roast rolled sirloin from Richardson's was worth every penny of the sixty pounds.

True and it was...and he thinks Valentine's a rip off.Actually I don't want anything spent - just a card's worth maybe....some notice taken.

But Sarah, he took you out for a very expensive dinner the other night!! At least it sounded expensive to me.....

I am going to cook a roast for 24 at a Valentine's party I am organising at our church tomorrow.

Not so much as a single rose!(sob)

Sorry to interrupt.Asda - chavs.At least Tesco is British.

If Waitrose is for 'Toffs', and Tesco is for 'Plebs', were does Asda fit in to this order of things Peter?

ha ha ha I received a Purple Ronnie card - now I know why!At least I did get a card and flowers and tea in bed though - it's more than lots of women do - so I'm not complaining.

'Plebs' & 'Toffs' Peter I like that, how true as well!!

Cherry Pie I think its called.I hear the West Ealing women take the funny underwear back the next day and exchange it for something far more sensible.

I hear the West Ealing men shop in that place with the funny underwear in the window near the lights on Drayton Brigde Road. Senior moment. Forgot the name of the shop.
