Well liz... I read through that twice and I know what is going to happen, but I don't understand any of it! I'm funcused!
Hi Snookie!
I thought I'd blogged about this before, but the background is that Virgin trains issued a "no kissing" edict at Warrington station, because passionate farewells were holding up the taxis. That sounds so unEnglish doesn't it!
It made the national news and Mills and Boon instituted a campaign to lift the ban.
Yesterday Virgin retracted the ban, put the no kissing signs up for sale on eBay and they and Mills and Boon had a lot of fun getting publicity and raising money for Red Nose Day -- a national charity fund-raising day here in the UK when everyone (including celebrities) does crazy stuff to raise money and everyone wears red noses, or fastens them on their cars.
Honestly ... you have be here!
Thanks for the explanation Liz, maybe you did blog it and I missed it... though I ususally catch all your blogs.
It sounds like a fun day!
