Sinead Van Kampen of the Independent.ie, sounds a warning note:
"Anyone looking to bring their relationship to an abrupt end this Valentines may wish to avail of offers on flowers available at petrol station forecourts. The only person who can justify turning up with flowers smelling of diesel is one employed as a mechanic, and only then under certain circumstances. As well as forecourt flowers other bargains to avoid are teddy bears and free compliments like "It's not how much you spend but who you spend it with" and "Money can't buy love""
Ouch. I guess I'll have to check my budget again.
