Tired of looking for Miss or Mister Right over drinks or dinner? There is a new option. In the UK, a new dating site pairs off people working near each other, over lunch.

Still to be resolved: Is it reasonable to expect a good-night kiss at 1 p.m. after a first date under the McDonald’s arches?  Here’s the story by Paul Majendie:  lunch300.jpg               Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
