The news this last week prior, yet once again wrongly reported that English men were one of the least romantic.

I for one would dearly love to know just who these folk actually complete these surveys with or who they base the results on.

Yes kids and younger folk today are after one night stands and have no clue about real romance but many older folk like me over here are truly romantic deep down at at heart.

My Wife says I’m only romantic in thought and not in action. But yet many of the chat up lines I have written over the years have been published in booklets and are on sale today right across Europe.

I have countless endless love poems and numerous of those are published and I’ve also quite a large global fan base too and make my living as a poet, if that’s not living the ideal romantic dream then just what is.

My Wife was 50 recently and for her Birthday I took her off to Europe on a mentioned Mediterranean cruise for a week’s holiday (her choice to have just the one week not mine) if this is not romantic then what is. On that same cruise there were many couples where Husbands were treating their Wife for a Birthday or Anniversary gift.

Stop talking to teens and youths in completing these surveys before folk like me are forced to challenge the comments made in a court of law and publically show organisers and the likes that they are chronically wrong

I may be getting on and not have my former youthful looks any longer but I would openly challenge any to dispute my clearly natural and quite automatic silver romantic tongue

Just a few year back Geordie men were voted as being found to have the third sexiest accent in the world, if these negative comments keep appearing in the news then I for one will be fiercely disputing them and showing the organisers up as nothing more than cranks who are absolutely incorrect?

I know for a fact that I am not the only romantic man in the UK
