VALENTINE'S Day is too commercial, a poll of the region's women reveals.

The findings are part of a special poll "Take Note of Your Heart" by the British Heart Foundation.

The poll says 69 per cent of the region's women think Valentine's Day is too commercial, but 48 per cent would still like to be whisked away for the day.

David Beckham is the man they would most like to receive a card from -- 39 per cent nominated him. Hugh Grant and Prince Charles were the most unpopular.
