People talking and chatting loudly in the 'quiet' carriage on trains and the sodding staff doing feck all about it...


It's been a good few years since I last took a train but I'm intrigued by this idea of 'quiet' carriages. How much more does it cost to book a quiet carriage?

Nothing, but one carriage is designated a 'Quiet Zone'. Supposedly their for working or sleeping, but generally full of children howling, businessmen chatting loudly or teenage girls on mobiles. And the train staff won't do a damn thing.


I would actually pay more for a truly quiet carriage. Sadly, not first class rates as my company won't let me.

Women who apply make up from the moment they sit their backsides down on the train and continue to make up all the way into London, or finish with the make up and instantly pick up the mobile and chat non stop even when they get off the train!!!!! Better still, the look of puzzlement on their faces when they look at their phones on entering a tunnel and the line goes dead.

Generic European adverts (especially car adverts)

The phrase "up to" used in conjunction with statistics in adverts

The phrase "award winning" in adverts (what award?)

The word "muppet" when used as an insult

The word "party" when used as a verb

Fake corporate bonhomie in marketing eg. Innocent drinks

The word "myself" when used instead of "me". Also "yourself/you"

There is a constant advert that keeps coming on with three ladies in an art gallery, they seem very happy as it is an ad for Tenner Pants, I think that after so many appearances they should not be dancing but swimming.

I think that the advert is degrading and too personal to be shown so often.

    • Thanks ianr. Does everyone get the same Covid vaccine? Re your other things, I don't think the NHS records  are very joined up in various respects, despite (or because of?) the various NHS and GP apps. If you are in the vulnerable group for flu, and also for Covid, is there any reason why you are choosing to have one jab but not the other? Your choice of course, but as I understand it, both flu and Covid are expected to be very prevalent (can't think of the right word) in the UK this Winter?
    • So what you are saying is that shops encourage shoplifting as it is good for their business?  Rather a curious view. However.... for every stolen good there has to be a market, whether from a shop, burgled house, stolen bike so those buying knock off goods are guilty too.  As you infer. And one size doesn't fit all, petty shop lifting, kids being naughty, those desperate due to poverty - including addicts both to illegal substances and 'legal' including gambling, and those making a business out of it are very different.
