A Brighton couple apparently conducting their failing relationship via banners hung over a busy dual carriageway were urged today to stop being "immature" and seek counselling.
Police chiefs also took a dim view of the signs draped from the bridge over the A27 bypass, saying they could cause accidents.
Last week motorists on the A27 noticed the first 6ft-wide banner in the Hollingbury area which read: "Wendy, I want a divorce" signed with the initials "JBS".
The roadside soap opera continued with an angry riposte apparently from the man's wife, who placed a banner at the same spot saying: "No way. You are the cheat! Wendy."
Yesterday the banner had been taken down by police and relationship advice group Relate counsellor Christine Northam said: "It is certainly very immature and we would urge them to seek counselling."
