News from all over - Wales
A group of dairy farmers are putting single's ads on milk cartons in the hopes of finding Mr. or Mrs. Right in the far-flung countryside of Wales. The novel approach to the singles' scene coincides with Thursday's celebration of St. Dwynwen's Day, the Welsh patron saint of lovers.
"My family thinks I'm nuts," said 30-year-old farmer Iwan Jones, who appears on the cartons and hasn't had a date in a year. "My friends think it's hilarious - but everyone's taking it with kind of a lighthearted attitude."
Three men and two women appear in the ads, which feature an oval photograph under the heading, "Fancy a farmer?" The address for a dating website, www.pishynwales.com, is also written on the stickers for those who want to follow up.
