Dear O Dear. Whatever next. I presume these areas are for the use of all ethnic races, & religions, or will we see several "Designated Areas" emerge, for use by different groups.

I have to admit, I don't really understand why they need to ban kissing specifically. Assuming the band is to stop blockages in the area, surely banning loitering unless you are waiting for a taxi would be more effective..

Wish I knew how to link photos to posts.

Sign on Penrith Railway Station.....

Do not stand near the edge of the platform, or you are in danger of being sucked off!

(Mods, please delete if deemed not acceptable but it is a real sign!)

I have a friend who tried banning kissing in his pub and the police got involved...

What happened was there were a man and a woman kissing and he asked them to stop as he didnt want that in his pub as it upsets some of his customers who are older.... they left and a few mins later 2 gay blokes came in and started getting touchy and feely and started kissing, and he said exactly the same to them, he wasnt being homophobic or singling them out and thankfully there were witnesses to it. They then reported him to the police and to the brewery for being homophobic.

In a superb bit of marketing opportunism, Chiltern Trains have announced that kissing is welcome in High Wycombe. I've no idea what the women in High Wycombe look like, but if you want to find out, try going by Chiltern Trains.

Something similar happened in one my local pubs. The two ladies were getting quite a bit of attention snogging. I don't think anyone was bothered by what they were doing and then they 5 mins later they were kicked out the pub for getting down to it in the loo

Funnily enough, none of the blokes seemed that bothered

Not exactly hearts content then....

Clearly for married people isn't that discrimination

My take is that there is a time and a place for this type of behaviour and I don't see the ened for personal displays of affection.

Remember people are often selfish. It may be very romantic having a last kiss before you leave, but you also may be blocking someone else from getting the train they need to.

I think that's exactly right. people ARE selfish. sadly it's a human trait and a abd one too. And consideration seems to be something many humans don't see as important.

I think even the mention of it, is pathetic. What will they ban next, going to the Station toilet, in case if offends anyone, The only thing l would ban, and this is on a serious note, when you are queueing up for something or on a train, and the couple directly in front of you, are having a good old snog, you wonder what, is going is going to happen, the slurping, they smell of bad breath, yuk.

BBKing · 05-03-2009, 14:41

The Maily Telegraph reports that the ban's been lifted...

A spokesperson for Virgin Trains, who put up the original signs, said: "There was always a tongue in cheek message behind the signs - to avoid congestion.

Really!

The mention of toilet clearly offends the train companies. Most stations except the big main line termini seem to have long since locked such essential ameneites.
