No kissing allowed
February 18th 2009 04:11
We've all smiled at happy reunions as people get off planes, trains or buses and collapse into the arms of waiting loved ones. And we've all empathised with tearful farewells in the same places.
Happy or sad, however, it is as close to real life as it gets, and you'd think only a cold fish wouldn't be moved by it.
Or a civil authority.
The civil authorities in Warrington, England, are so unmoved by these signs of human emotion that they want to move it. Specifically, they want to stop hugs and kisses of hello and goodbye at Warrington Bank Quay Station because, they say, it's holding up the trains.
So they have banned it.
They have erected signs and one assumes they have sat, stony faced, in committee meetings to establish the penalties for the new crime of feeling.
Hard-hearted bastards.
