Whats wrong with people today, surely if folk choose to sit in a Designated Disabled Seat on a Train, Bus, etc, then you should be prepared to give it up for the needed.

I’ve never understood how train operators are allowed to sell more seats than are available.

The Airlines do it all the time, only difference is they wont let you stand or sit on the floor.

Nah, it goes back to before that ineffective knobhead.  This is all due to the way we bring up our little baskets, and shield them from winning and losing, right and wrong, and refuse to properly discipline the little bastards.

So its a problem we can only blame on ourselves.


Obviously, there is a cure, but you'll all have to vote me as president, and "modern parents" will get very upset.

I don't think that your sort of president usually gets into power via the ballot box TB!

SWMBO stood almost all the way from Pompey to Manchester while 8 & a half months pregnant ...... that was 1988. So nothing much has changed.

She should have thrown a fainting fit - understandable, in her condition - and landed on some of the offenders!

Gone.


My Mrs went to London by train recently. Reserved a seat on return journey. Two very able bodied guys came along said that Mrs and the lady siiting next to her were sitting in their reserved seats and insisted that the two ladies moved so they could sit down.

All BS. The two guys did not have valid reservations with GWR and relied on the "British" habit of not making a fuss. Thanks GWR railways.

Right, people are assholes.  Have been for some time now, that is a given for the times we live in. We have this attitude that as long as parents are "doing their best" no one has the right to criticise. Never mind whether they are doing an objectively good job. Makes me want to vomit.

BUT, if the story is true, that train conductor needs sacking, I'd have ousted someone from a disabled seat quicker than you can say "entitled asshole", and encouraged them to put in a complaint if they had an issue.

Contrast this with southern rail whinging on about how conductors are essential for the comfort and safety of passengers. Whose comfort and safety was that useless bell end serving?!

Sorry, rant over
