February 12, 2001 9:35: SHOPPERS can now find their ideal partner while they are doing their weekly shop thanks to a Valentine message board.

The Asda store in Holmers Farm Way, High Wycombe, is helping its customers find a loved one for Valentine's Day by providing a Lonely Hearts Board.

Vanessa Janusz, events co-ordinator at the store, said: "It will enable customers to place a message containing details of themselves.

"Then any interested parties can respond by completing a message on the reverse."

These messages will then be left displayed on the board for collection from the advertiser and they can take their pick depending on how many replies they get.

Any customers who find their one true love through the Lonely Hearts Board will be offered a prize from Asda.
