We asked drunk people at Leadmill what love is

‘One Direction and chicken nuggets’


For most people, Valentine’s Day is just another day to remind you that except from that one person you spoke to on Tinder a week ago, you are probably destined to be alone.

This was no exception for the hundreds of people at the Leadmill Silent Disco, who wouldn’t admit it, but they’d much rather be at home watching Fifty Shades and crying into their ice cream tubs.

So, what could go wrong by asking them what this whole ‘love’ business really means?
