With Valentine’s day coming up (so I hear anyway) what could
be more appropriate than working out where you should and should not head for
the special day?
If you’re looking to put together a romantic evening for
that special someone, researchers have put together a definitive list of the
top 10 places to do so. So grab your train pass and whisk them away on a
getaway to one of these picturesque (mostly) romantic hotspots. Of course if
you already live in one of these locations, you’re probably set up as a bonafide
Romeo (or Juliet):
#1 Lake District
#2 Cotswolds
#3 London
#4 Cornwall
#5 Stratford-upon-Avon
#6 York
#7 Edinburgh
#8 Bath
#9 Isle of Wight
#10 Devon
If you’re unlucky in love however, it could be because you
live in one of the LEAST romantic locations. Or it could also be your face,
personality, personal hygiene or weird fetish. We can’t really comment. But to
help you narrow down why the opposite sex keeps running in the opposite
direction, here are the places to avoid for romance:
#1 Slough
#2 Birmingham
#3 Scunthorpe
#4 Hull
#5 Bradford
#6 Basingstoke
#7 London
#8 Crewe
#9 Stockton on Tees
#10 Blackpool
Now we’re not experts here, but we’re pretty certain there’s
no way London can be the 7th LEAST romantic place, but also the 3rd
MOST romantic. And all is not lost in love for the Birmingham folks; they might
not be romantic, but they still come in the top 10 for one-night stands, which
will put them in pretty good stead for Desperation Day (February 13th).
