Something for the Weekend – Vinegar Valentines

 It’s Valentine’s Day, so here at Hello Lincoln we thought we’d focus on the supposed festival of love for our regular, fun Something for the Weekend slot.

Perhaps it’s just us but instead of the slushy romance stuff what we found fascinating was the discovery of Vinegar Valentines – the practice of sending insulting messages to unsuitable suitors in Victorian times.

Watch the video to find out more. 

We also loved the Kennel Club’s plug for Cruft’s, which claims most of us would rather spend time with our pooches than people.

Don’t forget to let us know of anything you think would entertain readers as we head into the weekend by contacting This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
