National Break-up Day
Did you know that extensive research has been done to determine attitudes to relationships and ‘the day they are most likely to end’. It’s been discovered that the 12th day of January was the most likely day for couples to split, and has been named National Break-up Day.
Further results, showing how attitudes differed according to gender and region, were issued to the media. This included the fact that women tend to have a New Year rethink about their other half, with many subsequently ditching partners. Meanwhile, it was revealed that a third of men blame Christmas rows with the in-laws on January break-ups. To add editorial endorsement to the campaign, the PR team enlisted relationship expert Jenni Trent-Hughes, who conducted radio interviews with Yahoo! Personals general manager Deborah Uri.
Is it just me or doesn’t it seem that more break-ups happen just before the holidays or during the Spring?

Bad grammar.
He said, “more easier.”
As in, “I am applying to Oxford and I know it’s hard to get in, but my uncle works there and it’s more easier to get in if you know someone.”
“It’s a lot easier if you know how to speak English too,” I wanted to tell him, but I was too polite.
There was no second date.
