LIVERPOOL TOPS THE UK's LOVE CHART

LOVE is in the air in Liverpool - according to research from Yahoo! Personals, Liverpool is the passion hotspot in the UK with the highest number of couples getting married this year

In comparison people living in Grimsby and Newcastle prefer to hang out with mates rather than commit to their partners, which hit bottom of the love location list

PASSION HOTSPOTS LOCATIONS LACKING LOVE

1. Liverpool (66%) 1.Grimsby (63%)
2. Shrewsbury (57%) 2. Newcastle (55%)
3. London (55%) 3. Aberdeen (54%)
4. Manchester (53%) 4. Hull (53%)
5. Maidstone (49%) 5. Bath (52%)

One third of Liverpudlians love the Irish accent, stars such as Colin Farrell, Dermot O'Leary, Westlife and the Corrs seem to be the ultimate sex symbols because of their alluring Irish lilt. The Queen's English is also a favourite with 24 per cent of people from Liverpool admitting to being turned on by posh pronunciation

The Brummie accent is a real turn off when it comes to romantic appeal with 51% of people living in Liverpool finding the accent unattractive

Liverpudlians have been busy puckering up with 71per cent having more than one kiss this year compared to York where only 15 per cent of singles have had multiple kisses in 2004 

A fifth of Liverpudlians had a holiday fling this Summer compared with the nation as a whole, where 83 per cent of Brits said 'no' to having a holiday romance. The average singleton fleeing the UK in hope of a holiday fling this summer has more chance of finding love at home rather than abroad


Dating is alive and well in Liverpool with 56% of singles dating someone new this year. 25% of Liverpudlians have been on over 15 dates in the last 10 months compared to an average of up to 5 dates for the UK as a whole
