Cupid's arrow misses the mark in town

To mark this romantic occasion the 'MAIL' has been out on the streets spreading some Valentine’s love and asking the question Is Valentines Day the chance to show romance or is it just another commercial money spinner?

Joanne said: “It is a chance to be romantic, my husband is romantic he took me to Tenerife and we always go out for a special meal.”

Louise O’Hagan and Natasha Jordan who were taking the baby for a stroll said: “It is romantic, our partners better have something special planned.”

Liam said: “ It is about romance definitely, even though I am single.”

Anonymous said: “It's nice to be romantic and feel special, my boyfriend lives in Turkey so I won’t be getting a present but I will see him soon.”

Camera shy Michael said: “It's a money spinner altogether.”

Matthew who was also photo shy said: “It's just another money spinner like Easter or Christmas.”

Cathy who did not want to be photographed without her makeup said: “ I think it is if you make the effort, it's the only time of the year that you are romantic. “

Hiding from the camera Mark said: "It's just another money spinner, everything is commercialised.”

Claire told us: “It's just another money spinner, that has men buying more for women than they buy for them.”
