I regularly show affection to Mrs TMR (to be) in the pub. And on the way to it. And on the way home, probably more so... I wouldn't be fiddling with my BlackBerry, either. We merely osculate.

At what point does simple "love" become uncomfortable viewing for bystanders?

When it move from an expression of affection towards a sexual assault?

That's hardly clear from the OP though, is it?   It reads more like a couple getting too frisky in a public place.

Not from the OP, agreed, but later...

She was standing - he was sitting on the stool. She had her coat undone so bystanders could not see too well what was happening. She was pretending to be 'on her Blackberry' whilst his hand was up her skirt   

When I wrote sexual assault I had in mind consensual. Fine for a club but I think over stepping the mark for a Public House.

 rubschin: Can assault be consenual? And why is it OK in a club, not a pub? Do the boundaries of decency evaporate when you enter such a place, thus making it acceptable?

To comment on the latter question first; there are clubs, venues etc where the sole object is that of seeking sexual gratification. The habitués know the score, the entry price, the club rules etc and that's fine should one choose to go that way.
A Pub however, in my understanding is open to all and sundry (Landlord's discretion notwithstanding) and consideration to other members of the public enjoying a drink and a bit of social interaction is called for.

Assault?  I mean intentional libidinous foreplay  eyes:

 Popcorn:

I think it would be fair to say that our social secretaries our in discussion regarding potential windows of opportunity vis-a-vis further investigations of available fare of the Sunday Lunch variety. Naturally VP regulars will be advised of forthcoming eventualities should the time and occasion arise.

How does that suit?  angel1

I really don't think anyone has the slightest interest any more Pastis - honestly they have all moved on to much bigger and better things  - and rightfully so I may add  whistle:
