With the end of summer, romance dies

An interesting fact for those already bewildered that we have passed the final bank holiday weekend of the year - today (27 August) is officially the least romantic on the calendar.

Well, according to Stoves' new cooking appliance brand Accolade it is. Various factors were looked at by the company, such as high divorce rates in September, lower champagne sales in August and reduction of table bookings for two people in the same month.

And the reason for this sudden insight into the machinations of the human heart? The launch of the new brand and its accompanying hunt for a favourite recipe. How romantic.
