It’s ‘St Valentines Day’. The day when lots of men think to themselves, ‘I’d better get a card or I’ll never hear the end of it!’

From April, social housing tenants deemed to be under-occupying their bedrooms will be charged an ‘under-occupation penalty’ which will be deducted from their housing benefit entitlements.
This has been controversially called ‘The Bedroom Tax’.
A phrase so familiar with blokes who frequently have to pay the price for forgetting her card and chocolates.
