Diego_Sideburns Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 While he was in Widnes railway station, Paul Simon wrote: I'm sitting in the railway station. Got a ticket to my destination. On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand. And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band. Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound, Home where my thought's escaping, Home where my music's playing, Home where my love lies waiting Silently for me. No doubt he was dreaming of kissing his loved one (not Art Garfunkel). Then Prince and Tom Jones sang: You don't have to be rich to be my girl You don't have to be cool to rule my world Ain't no particular sign, I'm more compatible with, I just want your extra time and your KISS Well, they’ll be having none of that kissing going on at Warrington Bank Station, as it’s been outlawed at the suggestion of the Chamber of Commerce, unless it takes place in a designated area (of the station, not the body!). What’s the world coming to? http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/new...time_on_kissing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 i'm pretty sure kissing's always been banned at Warrington station,the sign's new though. It's probably a good idea with all the interbreeding that goes on in Warrington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) i'm pretty sure kissing's always been banned at Warrington station,the sign's new though. It's probably a good idea with all the interbreeding that goes on in Warrington. With all the breeding, inter and otherwise, it's not the kissing they need to worry about. I just hope they've put "No F g" signs up in the station Gents, where fortune is known to smile on young lovers.

Latics_Al Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Sounds like Railway Stations are being brought in line with the nations swimming pools. So that's smoking and kissing out of the equation, and quite possibly running knowing standard H & S guidelines. My moneys on no bombing next...

Diego_Sideburns Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Meanwhile in High Wycombe, passion is being encouraged by train operator Chiltern Railways which states on a poster: "Unlike other train companies, we would never dream of banning kissing at our stations." The operator is even now running a competition to find their most romantic passengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldham_Gaz Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Probably acting on behalf of complaints of showing affection in public. Hmmm I wonder who would be complaining about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
