You won’t be surprised to know that despite a suitable glut of newsworthy items the only topic of conversation at the water cooler this morning centred around St Valentines day.

Yes it’s that time of year again when all and sundry are desperate to know whether you received the obligatory Valentines card, where you are heading for that romantic candlelit meal tonight and if a proposal of marriage is on the cards.

Given the chat around the AquaPoint water coolers it would seem that the restaurants of Yorkshire and Humberside will be doing a roaring trade this evening.

There is no doubt that it will be a sight to behold as table after table, each decorated with at least one red rose, is filled by adoring couples hell bent on professing their love for each other on this one day, no matter what the cost. 

Once seated, those couples will no doubt be gazing lovingly past flickering candles, maybe even stretching across starched linen to hold a hand, before launching themselves into the ”Special Valentines Menu” packed with aphrodisiacs carefully selected by Chef  to assist the lurrrrve process.

As the subdued lighting casts its spell, wine glasses are emptied and the romantic strains of Barry White fill the room, one can only hope that all would be suitors don’t suddenly push their chairs back, drop down on one knee and propose to their loved one at the same time, as surely chaos would ensue.

Still, if this is an important day and you are heading for that carefully chosen restaurant, let’s hope that the oysters are kind, your Stud Muffin truly loves his Snuggle Bunny and that the ring is just what he or she wanted.
