Oh my God, that's reminded me. I was on a 177 bus from Woolwich to Peckham on the way home from work some 12 years ago. Really pissed Irish fella sits on a fold down seat neat the front of the bus (single decker), and as we got to New Cross bus garage I heard this African fella shout "what are you doing dirty man". I looked up to see a trail of piss snaking across the floor towards my bag and my feet. The Irish fella hadn't even bothered standing up, he'd just whacked it out from where he was sitting and taken a slash.


That's much worse than shaving, but until I saw your post I'd obviously blocked it out.

I remember a journey back on the last train from London Bridge recently. Some guy was quietly enjoying a rather tasty smelling pasty, and this woman kept on harassing him saying "it stinks, it's inconsiderate, it's rude" he didn't really react, probably like me tends to avoid confrontation, especially when the person was actually getting quite aggressive. Eventually a woman sat on her own shouted, "Leave him alone, I like your smelly food!!"


I found the whole exchange quite funny considering the carriage was practically empty. It's not every day you hear someone shouting "I like your smelly food!" I suppose you had to be there really.


IMO as long as you don't leave you're rubbish on the train or bus then you can eat what you want and people need to lighten up a bit. If you don't like it get a nose plug!!

It is currently socially acceptable to eat on public transport in this country.


It is not socially acceptable to litter. SOME people do it anyway.


So you ban food on public transport. What do you think the chances of those SOME people complying?


Zero - thats how many. So the result is well mannered folk stop eating and are penalised. SOME folk continue to eat on the bus/train and still litter.


Utterley pointless.


I know. Lets start a petition against petitions. I loves me a bit of irony.

From this forum you could definitely get that impression

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "Sep, you don't even live here."   ???
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
