We had a bit of a love/hate thing going on at Hoxton Radio this afternoon, with all things anti-Valentine's Day! I shared the story of the world's worst date (really!), made my suggestions for things to do this Saturday 14th which don't require champagne and a dozen red roses, and, to mellow things out a bit, we had our resident writer, Laura, share a romantic story that could make even the most hardened heart melt!
Valentine's wouldn't be the day that it is without the frantic present buying, and I selected my picks for some of the more obscure gift ideas on the market, including, the Benedict Cumberbatch Colouring In Book for Grown Ups - hours of fun, guaranteed! I also delved into the world of silent dating which puts a new spin on the first-date 'awkward silence'.
And, if you fancy an evening of fun without the flirting, get your tickets booked at Bounce in Holborn for a spot of ping pong - now, you can't get more anti-Valentine's than that.
