The UK has rallied together to raise an astonishing amount for a woman who travelled 82 miles for a date, only to be dumped five minutes after arriving.

Mum of one Jade Savage, set up the GoFundMe page to share her tale of woe with the nation in an attempt to make back the £90 she had spent on travel to Peterborough, to buy herself wine and sticks of lard.

Two things which she can buy no end of now the fundraising page has now raised almost ten times that amount.

The 28-year-old spent £93 on the journey from Leicester to Peterborough to meet up with her date, who dumped her five minutes after she got there.

Jade's day was already off to a bad start when she missed her coach to Peterborough from her home in Syston, Leicestershire and was forced to pay for a last-minute train ticket.

But she didn't give up, as she was determined to make her all-important date with the man she had seen a couple of times before. However, things turned a bit sour when her date, 27, informed her that she had "put some weight on" since their last date, just a month prior.

Jade said: "That's when he said, 'F*** me, you have put some weight on haven't you?' I was like, 'No, you can't say that.'

"It was clear he wanted to call the whole thing off but I still hoped we could have a nice time so we went to his car.

"But he said, 'I can say it, it's a fact. You have put weight on, so therefore I can joke about it.'

"I called him a pr*** but then he went berserk and said, 'You what, you think I'm a pr***?' He drove me back to the station and told me I had put him in a bad mood and that I had to go home."

So despite all the effort Jade had put in and her lengthy train to get there, her rather expensive date lasted only lasted a meagre five minutes.

Jade was dropped back at Peterborough train station by her date and had to wait around for an hour before she could get another train back home.

Luckily for Jade people across the UK are sympathising with her traumatic story and have rallied together to raise a massive amount of money for her wine and sticks of lard.

So far the mum's GoFundMe page has raised a whopping £800, almost ten times her original goal, with some people donating as much as £200.

The aim was a mere £90 to compensate the £30 on taxis, £12 on her ticket for the coach she missed, £46 on the train and then another £5 on wine, but that figure has been smashed out of the park.

I think if we were Jade we would book a flight and head to France for all the wine, cheese and lard they have to offer.
