No Kissing Signs At Warrington Station

I can’t resist posting a couple of serious clarifications which Colin Daniels, chief executive of Warrington’s Chamber of Commerce, could put under the “no kissing signs” he has championed at Cheshire’s Warrington Bank Quay train station in a bid to stop “congestion”. To check out the sign before reading my suggestions, visit:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/no-kissing-allowed-at-warrington-station-ndash-it-blocks-the-platform-1623806.html

No air kisses allowed - French only.

Trilbys obstruct kissing – ditch the rim.

No heterosexual kissing allowed. (If you take the figure with short hair for a woman)

No homosexual kissing allowed. (If you take the figure with short hair for a man)

Do as we do, not as the red ink says.

If you hadn’t thought of doing this, then do!

I adore this quote in The Independent today - Here is Mr Daniels, who first mooted the idea back in 1998 after hearing that a station in Deerfield, Illinois, had used the signs to ease congestion: “It is a bit of fun, but it will be interesting to see if people observe it. They seem frivolous, but there is a serious message underneath.”

that's wild! i'm tempted to kiss someone in one of those zones, just to see what kind of trouble you can get into

there's some serious puckering going on in that sign. who kisses like that?!
