Watch out for the kissing police at Warrington Station


Only this week my friend was translating a Hindu news report from India where a couple are in trouble for having a kiss after their wedding ceremony. She said that in India kissing in public is not allowed. Couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks, the story sounded so archaic - it couldn't happen in Britain or could it

The last laugh is certainly is on me - Must be the daftest sign in England. No kissing signs have been put up at Warrington Quay Station in Cheshire. My first thought was it must be some kind of windup. Seems it's true - you have to listen to the video to make sense of it all.



Media reports say,
No-kissing signs have appeared in the taxi rank at Warrington Bank Quay Station forcing lovers to use designated areas only.

The signs were erected after concerns that passionate embraces were causing delays for commuters with more passengers being attracted there.

Wonder which silly plonkers in the Chamber of Commerce came up with the idea. Seems so ridiculous, what a waste of public money. Who is really going to take it seriously and how on earth are station staff going to legally enforce it.


Bizarrely they have actually put up signs in designated zones where kissing is allowed.

Sure the station is going to become a tourist attraction - If I was travelling on that route I'd probably be one to get off the train just to have a look at it.
