Valentines day: Det er tanken, der tæller

Valentines day: Få forklaringen på, hvorfor dagen er opstået. Ikke mindst i England tages dagen alvorligt. Udsendelsen er fra 2010, fra serien Qvortrups Cab, men historien er jo den samme som altid. Det eneste der forandrer sig er tallene. De er gået op: 

I følge Ritzau melder Interflora om en fremgang på 73 pct. fra 2013 til 2018 på dagen. Tilsyneladende har mærkedagen godt fat i de unge nu.

Valentine's Day-digtet af  Wendy Cope, After Lunch:

 On Waterloo Bridge, where we said our goodbyes,

 the weather conditions bring tears to my eyes.

 I wipe them away with a black woolly glove

 And try not to notice I've fallen in love.

 On Waterloo Bridge I am trying to think:

 This is nothing. you're high on the charm and the drink.

 But the juke-box inside me is playing a song

 That says something different. And when was it wrong?

 On Waterloo Bridge with the wind in my hair

 I am tempted to skip. You're a fool. I don't care.

 the head does its best but the heart is the boss-

 I admit it before I am halfway across.
