Romance cancels union meeting

A union meeting scheduled for tonight has been called off - because many of its members have romantic evenings planned.

The Isle of Man Trades Union Council was planning to meet at its headquarters on Fort Street in Douglas this evening.

But the organisation, which represents around 10,000 people on the Island, took to Twitter earlier to announce the meeting has been cancelled.

It says it received overwhelming numbers of apologies for absence because of the date.

Due to overwhelming apologies due to the date tonight's meeting is cancelled.
