St-Helens the most romantic place on Merseyside?

Since Valentine's Day is coming, here is a piece of news on the subject of romance that was a bit... staggering. Anyway, one of my old housemates from the time I lived in Liverpool shared this Liverpool Echo stating that St Helens is the most romantic town on Merseyside. Really? I mean you look at that picture of the town centre they used in the article and you wonder what is the least romantic town. It is difficult to imagine any place in Merseyside as romantic, or at least romantic looking. I remember my Valentine's Day there, spent preparing my lectures while my fiancée was watching tellie. But a few days later we went to the city and we had quite a nice time, even though Liverpool is not the kind of city you'd qualify of romantic. In the end, it's not the place, it's not the time, it's what you make of place and time.
