Brits choose laptops, not love
BT MOBILE BROADBAND has revealed that nearly two thirds of us would prefer to spend time online this half term break, rather than being romantic.
A survey of 500 people conducted by BT with VisitBritain has been looking into time spent online while on downtime. It found that in this week's half term, which is a romantic time to be 'between the sheets' apparently, 37 per cent of people will prefer to take their laptop on a holiday rather than their Wellington boots.
We're not sure about the Wellington boots for romantic excursions, but we suppose it takes all sorts. Also it seems an odd python-esque choice between wellies or laptop, and let's not even think about anything romantic involving either.
Still it's not all kinky wellies at half term break. Over two-thirds of 18 to 25 year olds will mostly be spending their time updating their facebook page, tweeting or uploading photographs. Just like usual then.
Most of the over-50 crowd will be online too, with 89 per cent of them using the Internet while on holiday to research historical places of interest.
Still, if you want to ruin your holiday, ignore your loved ones and get your feet all soggy with no wellies, BT recommends that you use their dongle and the BT FON network. µ

The delusion of love fell apart about 10 years ago. Nobody cares. We've already had enough of marriage, divorce, marriage, divorce, marriage, divorce. A computer can't divorce and take 80% of your life savings with it. Unless you buy desktops off store shelves like a good idiot.
Just because most marriages end in divorce doesn't mean most PEOPLE get divorced.
The problem is that the people who end up getting divorced tend to try again another few times, which skews the statistic.
From what I've heard, most people who get married get it right on the first try, while those who mess up once tend to mess up over and over and over again.
Lastly, lets not confuse love with lust. Next time you wonder why a friend of yours chose such an ugly, fat, or whatever wife(or husband), consider that they may understand love better than you ever will.

Clearly the author has never shared a pair of wellies be candlelight...
