Men are apparently losing the art of romance as a new survey has revealed that half of married men in Britain dont know the date of their wedding anniversary.

And one in 10 under-25s even confesses to giving his wife a gift he had previously been given by someone else.

Research by insurance company Sheilas Wheels found that one in five women buy her own flowers rather than wait for her man to deliver,reports the Daily Star. Also,as many women have long suspected,one in four men buys his wifes anniversary flowers at the local petrol station.
