Rail chiefs put up `no kissing' sign
1 day ago




LONDON (AP) — Stop smooching.

That's the message of a new sign that went up outside a train station in northern England on Monday.

The goal is to stop departing passengers from pulling up in their cars at a crowded drop-off point and pausing to kiss each other farewell.

Virgin Rail says it installed the sign while refurbishing the station after a local business networking group said the place had to become more efficient.

But profit margins may have been a factor, too.

Virgin Rail says that if passengers want to share an embrace before they part company, they should pay to park their cars nearby where they can kiss all they want.

This No Kissing sign was unveiled at Warrington Bank Quay railway station in Warrington, England, Monday Feb. 16, 2009, in a bid to cut delays. The sign has been placed at the drop off point, because departing passengers and drivers block access to the station with their vehicles while saying goodbye to each other.

One prohibits passionate clinches, while the other points to a designated bay set aside for the long kiss goodbye.

The signs were given to Cheshire businessman Christopher Reston by Katie Spies, the president of the chamber of commerce for the Chicago suburbs of Deerfield, Bannockburn and Riverwoods, as a souvenir of his trans-Atlantic trip.

They are a familiar sight in Deerfield, Illinois, where an embargo on early morning embraces has eased traffic congestion, says Ms Spies.

America loves a winner!


That's funny. Because here in Atlanta, at the rail stations, such lanes are referred to as KISS lanes, as in you kiss your spouse good bye as you're dropping them off.

Same function, same scenario, but opposite social expectations.

( Is that suppose to be Ed Norton, from the Honeymooners, or a young Jerry Lewis ? Hard to tell from the profile )



It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people WILL understand.

At least Shrub preferred HIS boytoys to be of legal age, unlike his daddy.
