UK &#8211, Breakfast in bed may make a loved-one feel special, but 70% of the population have not been treated to the luxury in the last year, according to the National Farmers’ Union (NFU).

A telephone survey revealed that those most likely to receive breakfast in bed live in London and the West Midlands while the worst offenders were the Scots, those living in the North and East Anglia. In these areas over three-quarters of people remain unpampered by their partners.

According to the survey men are more likely to take their partner breakfast in bed.

Ben Gill, vice president of NFU, said: “Today’s busy life-style is becoming all too often the excuse for forgetting the little things in life.”
