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.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
