Ok, I do hope this package is well received. It's Valentines Day in a couple of days, and like always (and I imagine many others) I've kind of left it to the last minute.
So, I've been looking around to find the best (and cheapest), but yet romantic package available. (She deserves the best)
For just £28.50pp you can whisk your better half off down to Preston for a romantic one night stay in a Travelodge hotel (check in from 3pm). Fortunately, KFC are trialling table service for Valentine’s Day at their Fishergate branch, (winner, winner). As many of you are aware, KFC are also currently offering a Take Five menu where for just £3pp you can grab a delicious 5 item meal including 3 chicken items! (Talk about value for money!)
Where does the Prosecco & a dozen red roses come in? Good question. You will have to use some forward thinking for this part. The Prosecco is currently available for £5 from Morrisons and you can obtain your roses from a number of places (Aldi) for just £3.
Just to add. I have ticked the option on the Travelodge website for them to make up a pull out bed (just incase anything goes wrong).

I'd definitely go for the mini fillets at KFC, I could then tell all my mates I got to touch some breast on valentines day

The KFC in Preston was the first KFC opened in the UK. It was opened by a guy called Ray Allen who then went on to found "Allens Fried chicken" #interestingfact

But...
"Not only was Fishergate the first branch of KFC to open in the UK – it has also played a key part in the love story of Bob and Pat Fogg, who’ve been married over 50 years. Bob and Pat met over a bucket of Colonel Sanders’ finest in 1965 and have enjoyed a date night at the restaurant every week since."

we had an Allens open up last year or so and it was terrible, the gravy was watery and all the chicken was salty! im guessing its a franchise nowadays cause I read that it was originally KFC but the menu was terrible and cost just as much as KFC

TBC15 to sparkzilla

Ah yes Preston, the Paris of Lancashire. As with all matters of seduction prior planning is the key. Ensure you book that outside table well ahead of time, popular tables go quick. Arrive about 6.30pm and do not rush the evening. Take time to study the menu and allow the aromas of the KFC chef’s creations to mingle with Greggs two doors down to heighten the senses. I guarantee by 7pm as you look across the table with tears streaming from your eyes she will be gaging for something hot inside her.

KFC hating fools with their "GM", " KFC Australia lung pics" and "yuck so unhealthy even though I eat at Nandos paying premium for the same chicken reared at Moy Park" in 3... 2.... 1....
(P.S. to p*ss them off even further, I'll state that KFC chicken is a great option for people with Crohns/Colitis or IBD, the chicken is not spicy and plenty of flavour, cooked using palm or rapeseed oil (depends on the KFC) which is not too taxing on the gut compared to using sunflower or vegetable oil, and has a (obviously) high calorific value. And before any wannabe "health expert" tries to counter, I got Crohns/IBD and I don't eat greens, spices, red meat or potatoes because if I did, literally "sh*t happens")
RastamanFB to hass123
13 Feb 16#112
Hate to burst you bubble but as many are confused by the oils id like to clarify that Rape Seed oil is in fact vegetable oil. Fancy schmancy places call it by its real name to make it sound more premium.
If you dont believe me look at the back of a vegetable oil bottle

Take your time looking there are plenty out there. Some of the sportier examples may have been through a few hands and have been abused, so check the history. Have a good look at the bodywork in particular the sump any sign of age could result in nasty messes on the floor.Any hint of whining should be a good enough reason to look elsewhere.
