They prefer hot water bottles

The Brits are not all that romantic
And to the fairer sex,often phlegmatic
They rather prefer hot water bottles
Often found useful for pains rheumatic.

A new study by the psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman claims that British men are less likely to make romantic gestures than men from other parts of the world — in fact, they are less likely to pay compliments, be inspired to write love poetry or take their loved ones away for surprise holidays than their foreign counterparts.
