I spotted these in Lidl the other day. :-)

Inevitable this time of year, but these people do it all year (as previously noted here):

Wonder if Harriet Harman has one in her van?

[Nightjar]

Very tempted for tomorrow, since I have been stopped from giving Gerbera (they droop too quickly), Strelitzia (too expensive) or potted orchids (she can't keep them flowering year on year).

Is it really legal in the U.K. to sell such a dangerous device to a woman? Think of the mess, she can do with it.

If the valentine's day gift _must_ be pink, i'd recommend a semi-automatic rifle.

Much saver. And more versatile.

I think they're intended for men who don't want their stuff nicked.

My daughter carries one of these...

Don't give lilies. The women complain about the pollen stains.

[Nightjar]

Not to mention that many people associate them with funerals.

[Bob Martin]

My wife won't have lilies in the house because of the overpowering smell. When sons send them for Mothers Day or birthday they have to stay outside.

Blimey, didn't know those were in use now by rank-and-file paramedics. How often does she get to play with it?

[The Medway Handyman]

She never has. And she's miffed about that.

[Mike Barnes]

Ditto (me, not my wife).

Good for her. I can't stand them - they smell just like burning plastic to me.

They were originally introduced to LAS Central Ops medics prior to the Olympics but are now issued to all. I was talking to a SECAMB medic the other day and they have them as well.
