I admit to having taken a bottle of new world bubbly a couple of times when I've been very keen for things to go well.
Either I was damn lucky with picking off-page, or it did indeed work.
Easier than flowers and pretty taste neutral.
Choccy choice can be almost as personal as decent scotch, and let's face it - some females are so paranoid about their weight they'd slap you for putting choccy in temptation's way.
I doubt it would work on EE girls - some of them clearly like decent vodka and there's no way to get that for a fiver, which is pretty much my limit. Like I said, I'm cheap, I don't do this often.

As I see it, if a 120 punt and a fiver gets you 150+ service, its good value. The first 5 minutes count.
