Secretary Sally Noland, 24, advertised her face on the back of a bus. " I never used a dating agency before, she says. "But after I split up with my boyfriend I wanted him to see my face every day!" Businessman James Ryman, 42, paid findyourpartner. com to put his face in a busy London train station. "People can see you before they meet you, and that makes everything much easier!" he says.
    Billboard dating is a big success for findyourpartner. com. The website address appears on all the billboards. Anybody who wants to contact the people in the photos goes to the website to find more information. John Craig has also introduced the service in Spain, the USA and Australia.
