Valentines day restaurants

Mark if I was you, I'd go out for a nice meal the wkend before or after, virtually everywhere does a set menu on Valentines day, you'll get crap service, only be allowed the table for so long and be charged at least 50% as much as normal for the 'privilege' :roll:
 
plus, you'll have to eat off a "set menu" esp if you go in about 7pm and will be hurried out by half 9 so they can get in another sitting.

besides, why be romantic when on one day when u can smoooze on any day of the year. ;)

Hey Mark... if you do decide to go out, and want somewhere pricey but tasty, try Sumosan in Mayfair. Very good Asian cuisine. It's run by a friend of mine... but reserve now because she just got a nice review in the Evening Standard :D

As Barbie said - wherever you go - your gonna get ripped off.....

I would go for the Chewie option - cook at home - I would be more impressed myself as a laydee......
 
why bother it's just another day that has been hyped beyond belief, all got to do with £££££€€€€€€, why be a sheep, be individualistic ;)

Exactly. I'd just like to echo ho much I agree with your sentiments here Babs. I think you may be onto something.

It's like Fathers day etc. I purposely don't get him anything, as I always think that if I needed to send my old man a card or present to show what a great bond we have then there isn't really one in the first place. (Well, I actually do get him a card, if only I can find one which satirically alludes to his losing hair, mind, or how much I've ruined his life...).

Though, then come on I'm not stupid, this does all makes one sound like a bit of a scrooge, doesn't it, eh?

"So what's the solution Dan?", I hear you all scream...

TBH I always thought a better idea, would be to have an anti-Valentines day (wait, it's not as bad as it sounds!).

By all means indulge your chosen one in one of Clinton card's finest (hey, your woman may have friends, and let's face it, your name would be MUD if you turned up empty handed), BUT to really give the two fingers to the rest of the bloodsucking capitalist opportunist pigscum card shops (you can get a valentines card that reads "for my sister" ffs), restaurants, theatres , airlines, diamond mines and flower shops, why don't you celebrate V-Day, actually, I will write it out in full, to say confusion with celebrating the end of the war, Valentines day, say, a week later?

And on the weekend too?

Therefore you can not only show the one you adore/cherish/get-barrys-from that not only do you care, but you're smart too. And by choosing the (following) weekend (i.e., the 24th Feb) will really throw anyone looking to do a 24 hour (or week long, remember these restaurant owners are smart. They know that valentines week is still the time to get out all the xmas non-sellers and whack them on the set menu) price hike AND not have to get up the next day for school?

Give you a chance to really celebrate, and not just perform some tokenistic ritual encouraged solely by gift card companies and office receptionists (apologies to any receptionists on here, meant purely in jest)

The revolution starts here.

Can I get an Amen?
