Yep. You read that correctly. Elsewhere in this paper we report that a florist in Liverpool Street station is selling a bunch of red roses for £385. (Or a bargain bunch for £200.) Look, for that, the two of you can eat at Le Gavroche. And I know which I’d prefer.
But everywhere you go, it’s red bloody roses. The florist near this office has long-stem single red roses, with a little plastic thing around the head, for a fiver each, or a bunch for £25. Don’t do it. It is not yet too late not to buy a red rose. Or any rose, come to that.
