WITH autumn fast approaching Jurys Inn says that if you’re still looking for a summer romance perhaps the answer lies in your profession.

Certain jobs are more likely to lead to romance, according to new research that has found one in five - 20% - of Brits has been attracted to a colleague at work, with over one quarter of Brits - 27% - having had a work romance.
