but to be honest the world we live in at the moment has so many traditions and routine things to do, no wonder they're selling the roses for £6. i mean i would if i was a florist. we(people) are the mugs who buy them so they are just takeing advantage of this business oppertunity! just like in bars and resturants they sell fizzy drinks and charge £1+ but really its just syrum and soda mixed which costs them pence! so i'd say clever fuckers!!!

If gullible people are going to fall for commercial marketing hype, why not charge £6 per rose? I know I'd take money from gullible people wanting to impress a loved one on <insert random commercialised-rubbish name> Day, any day of the week!

Similar thing happened to me with my old man as we sound almost identical on the phone. An ex rang up once, and quoted the dirty text message that I sent her to him (thinkin it was me, obv). He just said "Oh, you want Ash...one sec"
Laughed so much about it afterwards, poor girl never lived it down
