As we all know, last weekend was host to the inconceivably pointless Valentine’s Day, which can turn even the most level headed of women into a needy tyrannical beast. It was also one of the busiest shopping days since the run up to Christmas. You would have thought couples would have had something better to do on valentines morning than come into a supermarket, panic in their eyes, rushing to the ‘dine in’ offer, fighting over the last half dead bouquet of roses, yet there they were, in their droves.
The whole ordeal got me wondering. At the reputable supermarket which I claim employment, let’s call them Marcos and Spenders, there was a very enticing alcohol offer on over the valentines weekend. Buy 6 bottles of wine and certain beers and get 25% off, coupled with buying two bottles for £12, meaning 6 bottles of not bad wine would set you back £27, a pretty good deal in anyone’s eyes. Copious amounts of alcohol, coupled with the whole romance of the occasion, could inevitably lead to only one thing, which brings me to my question and the reason for this post.
How many children do you think are going to be born in nine months’ time, which can be attributed to Marcos and Spenders?
