love in the aisles

HUNGRY for love?

Starving for affection? I have just the thing for you.

Valentine's Day is fastening its wizened claws around the high street again (nipple tassles from Poundland, anyone? Heart-shaped egg frier? If it's not nailed down, a retail chain will have painted it red and fashioned it into a heart) but, just to take the commodification of love one stage further, Asda is offering speed dating. In store. For Valentine's Day.
