Far from killing the mood, authorities argue the aim is to stop commuters missing their taxis. Officials at Warrington Bank Quay Station agreed to a romance-free zone, which was suggested by the local chamber of commerce. "They may seem frivolous, but there is a serious message underneath. They certainly make our station unique," Colin Daniels, chief executive of Warrington Chamber of Commerce said. If lovers want to smooch, they have to do so in the designated kissing area situated nearby. The directive has got tongues wagging at the station - but of course, only in the permissible way. Ruth Hardman and her partner Alan Dawson were heading home to the Lake District. "I was gob-smacked when I saw them. They should spend the money on something more worthwhile," Ms Hardman said. The Bones The designated kissing area ?? I recall many years ago that the "designated smoking area" at Bangor (Main) airport consisted of a large dustbin surrounded by half a dozen chairs. I wonder what a designated kissing area looks like.

They don't have time, because everybody has to kiss everybody. This forum is a very friendly Cyberparish. Come in please Gerry. GIve us a kiss.

Semi enclosed shelters should be the norm. As CARLO is wont to say, Traditionalism is making a big comeback, particularly with the young. Before Vatican 2 spoilt everything, kissing shelters were widely available in all liturgical colours.
