If you were planning on enjoying an old-school romantic goodbye in Warrington, England, you might want to take the bus. The train station there has put up a no-kissing sign to prevent making out from slowing down travelers.A spokesperson has said that they are not forbidding kissing throughout the whole station -- they just don't want people puckering up in high-traffic areas.
So they have created a designated smooch zone (with another, equally ridiculous sign) and suggested that travelers set aside some time to "say goodbye" in their cars instead. Somehow that doesn't have quite the same je ne sais quoi as a farewell on a foggy train platform.

Until the French support the war, he'll continue to refer to this as a "freedom kiss."

It wasn't so much a French kiss as enjoying the rest of each other's dinner.

We suppose it is a quality-of-life issue, given how ridiculous people look making out, but were PDAs really plaguing Warrington? (The Port Authority would kill for that to be its biggest problem.)
If you want a goodbye on the platform that's a little more "Brief Encounter" and a little less "Young Frankenstein," perhaps you should consider the station at High Wycombe, where they're practically begging people to lock lips by posting reaction signs reading "Kissing Is Welcome Here!"
10 Supposed Aphrodisiacs
Avocado Avocado trees were called Ahuacuati, or "testicle tree," by the Aztecs. And they were forbidden by Catholic priests for their sex appeal (no joke).

Chocolate The Aztecs worshipped this treat for its supposed aphrodisiac properties. While that's not scientifically proven, it does affect serotonin and the circulatory system. When both of those are kickin', it's definitely a lot easier to get in the mood.

Asparagus On top of making your pee smell funny, these phallic-shaped veggies are rich in Vitamin E, which is essential to a healthy sex drive and to producing sex hormones.

Eggs Eggs are a symbol of fertility (duh) dating back to ancient Greece and the Indian Kama Sutra. Choose eggs that are naturally fertilized -- many factory-laid eggs are not produced with an actual rooster, resulting in eggs with less hormones. A study showed that men who ate naturally fertilized eggs showed increased libido, sexual activity and stamina.

Epimedium grandiflorum This plant is known by many as Horny Goat Weed for its er, happy effect on goats. It's popular in Chinese medicine and has been around for over 2000 years. It's frequently found in pill form and is considered to be safe.

Spanish Fly The most famous of aphrodisiacs is made up of crushed beetles and more than a little is believed to be fatal.

Ginseng Thought to posses "aphrodisiac properties," Ginseng is also a popular Chinese medicine. It also translates as "man root." So maybe that explains it.

Spicy Stuff Chilies and peppers are known to pep up the sex drive, so if your guy can handle the heat, bring it into the kitchen. Chili peppers can stimulate the nervous system and pump up the drive in girls and guys alike.

Turkey If you thought you felt a little tingle on Turkey Day, you were probably not alone. Turkey is often blamed for making us sleepy, but it turns out it is the same element that causes drowsiness, tryptophan, that's actually sending us to bed for a different reason.

They don't want to alarm anyone, but those people kissing and holding up travelers could in fact be... (looks left suspiciously - looks right, suspiciously) terrorists! That's right. There plan was to pass on terminal halitosis, one traveler at a time... eventually spreading into London and out into the countryside. Insidious!

If this is not a violation of a persons rights I do not know what it. More walls going up and a true indicator that socialism is the road to communism. What are they going to tell you that you can't do next? Tell you that you can not hug your loved one in public.

I think it's reasonable. They said they were only putting the signs up in high-traffic areas. Do you really want to stop in a place where people can easily run you over anyway?

Looks to me like it is a sign forbiding afros and hats when you are making funny faces. Seriosly though apparantly same sex kissing is ok.
