Apparently so inspired by the fateful El-train love scene in Risky Business, a couple was arrested on the aptly-named Virgin train from Liverpool to London last week for copulating.
The train was crowded as the woman allegedly did some sort of sex-y thing with the man.
Reports the Daily Mail:
Other passengers en route from Liverpool to London appear to have sat in embarrassed silence as the 41-year-old woman allegedly committed a sex act on her male partner.
The man, Gregory Sim, 49, was charged with “unacceptable behaviour.” The woman, who was unnamed, was out on bail “while inquiries continue.”
Unless I’m missing something, it seems like a weird double standard. The man is charged and named in the paper; the woman is out on bail and is not named in the paper.
The Sun of course has a randier take on the event, and is beseeching readers to help identify the woman and, presumably, make her life absolutely miserable.
“Neither of them were drunk and this was early afternoon. Being typically British, the other passengers said nothing and hid behind their papers.”
An alert guard, watching eagerly on closed-caption television, nailed the fornicators.
