No red roses for Saudi


A few days ahead of Valentine's Day, the Saudi authorities have banned red roses and any other scarlet coloured items from being sold at florists and gift shops across the country. I always thought the whole rose thing was a bit overdone anyway. This could possibly encourage couples to seek out more creative ways of expressing their undying lurve for one another.

Alternatively, you could just buy a dozen white roses and spray-paint them red. ''A'' for effort?
