It was good to see at least, a few people turning out for the alternative Valentines Night Indian Banquet at The Lamb
last night. Those who attended had a good meal in pleasant surroundings without a rose or a guitar player in sight. From what I hear, nany others preferred to avoid the overpriced, faux romantic fayre provided by other establishments for more individual ways of spending the festival of love, which in one case involved going to the cinema to see a new version pf one of the Star Wars films in 3D. Hopefully, the card industry has also taken a beating and there is at last a backlash against their overpriced cards and the accompanying tat. Any decline in the commercial festival of excess that St Valentines Day has become at least has the effect of allowing those of us without 'that someone special' in our lives to feel a little less guilty about not being in a relationship.
