Playing second fiddle to Mammy

WOMEN have always known it to be true. No matter how often you cook his dinner, do his laundry or pass him the remote control when he is just too ill to cope with any sudden movement, you will always play second fiddle to a man’s love of his mammy.

And while the proof is traditionally in the pudding, Tesco has based its proof on man’s unrivalled love for his mammy on its sales of flowers and champagne.

When comparing sales on St Valentine’s Day to Mother’s Day, there’s just no contest.
