Welcome to Tuesdays. No, gosh, I've got all my days wrong. No, it's Thursday, just because you've done a two-day week.

It's Thursdays, it's a podcast. Although admittedly busy with some quite important things on the other two days.

We'll let you off. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Now, hang on, I did notice, I just want to bring it to the attention of the hive

that I went past my local dog grooming parlour this morning.

And they are going big on Valentine's Day.

And although they've done a beautiful sort of decoration for the window,

with two dogs covered in hearts and looking lovingly at each other.

You don't want to encourage that.

But what's that got to do with Valentine's Day?

Celebrate the feast day of St. Valentine and a celebration of romantic love

by having your dog groomed.

I don't really... is nothing immune to the

marketing possibilities of Valentine's Day? Well, let's chuck it out to the hive and see whether

we can find the Valentine's equivalent of Christmas bleach. There must, I bet there is. Well, I would kind of

say the dog grooming parlour is adjacent to that. Yeah. I always think in supermarkets and it goes back to the aisles, doesn't it?

How far can Valentine's Day or any other holiday opportunity spread into the aisles?

Yeah, I don't.

Sleeps everywhere.

Back in our day, it would literally just be some boxes of confectionery would have a red heart on, wouldn't they? Yeah, yeah. And it would be your opportunity to buy? What would your favourite have been? Terry's all gold? Oh, I think black magic. Black magic. Yeah. I didn't really like black magic. It just seemed to be a little too adult for me. Slightly funereal box. Well, it was, it was a little bit

There's a hint at sophistication

Yeah, but it was a bit too
