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

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
