Hi all

Further to the inetrest shown regarding the possibility of a no-kissing
zone at Flinders Street here are some further links of interest;

Tha above link is a news article on Warrington station's no-kissing zone
and features a picture of the infamous no-kissing sign.

The following was lifted from
http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/daily/gq/gqdaily.html

Councillors are thinking of putting up "No Kissing" signs
at Warrington railway station in Cheshire to stop couples
from delaying trains with farewell snogs. The idea comes
from their counterparts in Warrington's twin-town of
Deerfield, Chicago, who banned romantic send-offs after
irate commuters complained that amorous couples were
making them late for appointments. Time to kiss romance
goodbye?

Spokesman for Virgin Trains (which runs the service out
of Warrington): "A no-kissing zone would be rather difficult to
police - and you will certainly not see kiss squads on patrol at
our stations. The farewell kiss is something that you see in
stations all over the world, but passengers can rest assured it's
not going to delay any of our trains."

You can just see Jeff's "Kiss Squads" going around Flinders Street
Station now.
