Runaway romances -how irritating
they've all become
THE days when everyone loved a lover, I fear, are over for good. Un- less they are over 30, I am bored to distraction with today's lovers, irritated by their illogical, ill-mannered behaviour and saddened for those closely connected with them-they get hurt so often.
I am nowhere near being an 85 who's never been kissed, but I still haven't any sympathy for the lovelorn types who tell their troubles to the world. Hardly a week passes now without a runaway romance hitting the headlines and this current one has finally made me seethe to boiling point.'
