Love is in the air… well maybe, it’s the week of Valentine's Day at least, so time for our traditional poll. Is it acceptable to use 2for1 restaurant vouchers on a first date? We ask this each year – let’s see if it’s changed (PS and yes we know in this day and age splitting the bill/the woman paying are more than valid options, but that’s a poll for another day)… Imagine Robert asks Cora (or Tom) to dinner on a first date, saying he’ll pay. When the bill comes, he pulls out a 2for1 voucher – what advice would you give Cora (or Tom)?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
