Holiday Romance - The Facts

August surely is the cruellest month. Cruellest for readers of newspapers, that is. No real news happening? Whack in a completely crappy survey! Or, as a reader from a rather well known media outlet has it:

"Think I've got a great little story for you here!" Can you hear my heart SINK? Do you get out much James? Ever read the papers? Do you not know that the first refuge for any crap release is a piss poor survey?

Subject: Top 10 UK Destinations For A Holiday Fling...

Hi

Think I've got a great little story for you here!

Ahead of SonyBMG's release this week of "Ultimate Holiday Party!" the label have taken a survey out of over 1000 UK residents aged 18-30 regarding holiday romances to find out where exactly you're most likely to have a romantic fling in the UK - and have found proof that you don't need to go abroad to score!

So, results in at the end of last week have shown that these are the top places to meet the girl or man of your dreams:

1. Blackpool
2. Brighton
3. Skegness
4. Great Yarmouth
5. Isle Of Wight
6. Newquay
7. Southend
8. Hunstanton
9. Redcar
10. Clacton

I wondered if you might be able to give this a mention? How Clacton got on there is anyone's guess.

Cheers,

James has "found proof that you don't need to go abroad to score", apparently. I beg to differ, as the question asked "where exactly you're most likely to have a romantic fling in the UK".

Pray tell me how the winner could have been anything other than somewhere in the UK? And therefore, how does this tell me that I don't have to go abroad?

And that's before I've even started thinking about it being a completely pointless survey that barely ties in with the product he is trying to promote. It makes me weep on the inside, it really does.

I know - if I didn't know better I'd have read that bit and started thinking that the whole thing was crap from beginning to end.
