Asda has launched its own online dating service, purporting to pair up compatible singletons based on their shopping habits. Asdadating.com asks those who register to select from a range of foodstuffs before matching them to people who have similar tastes. If the idea that people who shop alike are destined for one another sounds like the result of a specious survey commissioned to drum up publicity ahead of Valentine's Day, well, that doesn't mean you can't judge a date by looking in his or her trolley.
