Romance in Hull – flowers for Valentine’s Day
A quote from the Yorkshire Post on Tuesday:
“People in Hull are a romantic bunch – and that’s official”
It reports that a survey, carried out by Flying Flowers, suggests we are actually old romantics at heart as people in Hull send more bunches of flowers than anyone else in the country on Valentine’s Day.
We are also one of the top areas in the country in terms of the amount we spend in florists in Hull - although we have to share the top spot with our Yorkshire colleague, Bradford.
So, it seems the credit crunch hasn’t affected our sense of romanticism just yet then. I try and avoid buying into the whole Valentine’s Day marketing ploy, although that doesn’t stop me wishing that I won’t be able to get out the door in the morning because of the vast amount of cards I have received… (sigh).
