No the rule is that if 2 people from the same family are on the bus the more senior of the 2 gets the seat, as is proper. The younger one (even if they are an adult) however has to sit on the elder?s lap so as not to take up other people?s seats.

Then maybe your chubbiness may be FAT to someone else?

I reckon if I met Roger Moore on a bus, he standing, I sitting I'd get up and offer my seat to him.

He'd charmingly refuse, but I'd insist saying it was a matter of principle on my part to offer my seat to a senior citizen.

He'd accept my offer with effusive thanks and I'd demur saying that there was no need and that I was no saint.

At which point we'd both make full eye contact and both chant the riff from The Saint DU DU DU DU DER DEEEER and Roger would mime looking up at the cartoon halo as he used to do at the beginning of each show.

Generally thought by most to be his very finest eyebrow work, by the way.

Anyway, the person next to him gets up, I take their seat and Roger regales me with stories about what a complete nuisance Richard Harris was on the shoot of The Wild Geese all the way to Waterloo Station.


If it's Sean Connery though I wouldn't bother. He can go and bloody scratch as far as I'm concerned.

What has that got to do with the price of fish?


Are you an offended fatty by any chance, karter?

LMFAO! This is hilarious!


I'm so glad I saw this, as I was feeling so down in the dumps from Cath Balan's animal cruelty threads...


I get sat on by fat people all the time. I think they take advantage, because I don't take up my whole seat! It's either that or I have somebody elbowing me while they eat or read their newspaper. Urgh! I hate being touched by strangers! I feel violated!!

Let just add a note of caution to Giggi's very sensible proposition that a child should be seated on an adult's lap in order to free up a seat for a standee.

Should Roger Moore and his son Geoffrey be sitting on the bus don't expect Roger to take Geoffrey on his lap, Geoff is fully-growed now and his weight could play hob with Roger's knees. Not that Geoff's fat or anything, just sturdy.

Mind you, why isn't he giving his seat up instaed of expecting his old dad to cause irrepairable damage to his legs by by 'lapping' him.

Just who the hell does he think he is? The bloody insufferable pup, with his towering sense of entitlement.


Anyway if Sean Connery is standing on the bus, kick him in the slats. B@stard.


Edited because my spelling suffers when I get a bit worked up.

Thinking about it if Forsyth and Corbett were sitting on the bus together, would it be in order to expect Bruce to take Ronnie on his lap to make room for a 'standee'.

I'd say yes, but then I will admit to not giving a toss about Brucie's knees as opposed to Roger's.

Mind I'm sure that the two of them would then launch into an 'improv' of a vent act and entertain all the passengers, I reckon even the older standees would forget their aching knees and instead be clutching their aching sides at the free mirth-fest the two old golfing Water Rats would be providing (all except Sean Connery of course, he'd be pointedly staring out of the window and tut-tutting under his breath, the jive-ass turkey).


Mind I'd still dob Brucie in to Big Vern and advise him to offer violence to the pencil-neck mofo.

    • Don't see an issue at all. Siunds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!
    • Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?
    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?
