CHECKED OUT AT THE CHECKOUTS
Shops beat Tinder for one-night stands
UP TO 5million frisky Brits have had a one-night stand with someone they met at the shops.
A survey found 14 per cent had an extra-special offer after an encounter at the checkout or on the shop floor.
That’s as many as got together in a bar or at a party.
And only eight per cent – roughly three million of the adult population – could lay claim to a one-night stand with someone they met at a nightclub.
Arty folk were a picture of happiness after 750,000 enjoyed a one-nighter with a stranger they met at a gallery or museum.
Some 2.5million got things moving by sleeping with someone they met on a train or bus. Four per cent – around 1.5million – really did love thy neighbour. And three per cent said a visit to the park or gardens had led to frolics amid the bedding. The results emerged in a survey which showed 77 per cent of 10,000 people quizzed had enjoyed a one-night stand.
It found other liaisons followed meetings at gyms ( five per cent), weddings (eight per cent) and hotels (11 per cent).
Shops 14% Gym
Party 14% Neighbours Bar/pub 14% Parks
Hotel 11% Museum Nightclub 9% Dating app Wedding 8% Concert Trains and buses 7% Office
Dating apps like Tinder, surprisingly, were only credited for two per cent of one-night stands – as were concerts.
The survey was carried out for Saucydates.com. Spokesman David Minns said: “We were very surprised that a trip to the shops could result in a one-night stand.
“Clubs and bars are understandable,

but chance encounters on trains, buses and even at museums was a real eye-opener.
“But it is reassuring that people are still getting together in the most natural of ways and that when the chemistry is right between two people, anything can happen.”
