Smooching Gets Kiss-Off in London Rail Station Ban

Lip-lockers confined to 'kissing zone'

Share

(Newser) – "Mind the Kissing Ban" could become the watchphrase of London train stations just as its subways are known for the "Mind the Gap" warning. Officials have posted signs barring kissing in certain sections of the renovated Warrington Bank Quay station because tarrying lovers are causing too much congestion, reports the Independent. Those who insist on locking lips will have to do so in the "kissing zone" where crowds are smaller.

These signs have been posted in the London's Warrington Bank Quay station warning lovers to stop macking on each other in certain areas to ease congestion.

It is a bit of fun, but it will be interesting to see if people observe it. They may seem frivolous but there is a serious message underneath. - Colin Daniels, head of the Chamber of Commerce

I suggest a sign reading "Mind the Jagged Rotten English Teeth". That should work like a charm. Reply
