Nice one! Anyone monitoring the CCTV must've had a moment's wonder there - hope none of you lot were bearded & wearing sandals.... :o) Speaking of giving up your seat for people, am I alone in wishing those "I'm pregnant" stickers had been introduced long ago for public transport? So many ladies these days are a little "big boned" or have "water retention" and it's hard to know when to give up my seat for someone who's pregnant - and I'm female myself so can't pretend I'm just being old-fashioned if I accidentally give up my seat to a lass who just happens to like her pies, mistaking her for a mum-to-be.... And, I have to ask this, knowing it's off topic and apologies in advance: what's the etiquette for (for example) me, having been working at home all day, with a generous workout period and thus feeling pretty fit and seeing someone (male or female) get on a crowded bus/tube who is so obviously obese and knackered that standing upright is a burden - and I want to give them my seat, without meaning any negative judgements AT ALL, but fear offending? Baffles me, I feel like a right selfish git sometimes watching someone struggling after a long day and they don't have the physique to enjoy "surfing" the bumps and twists and turns of public travel. Next best is when my usually fit young bod suffers a (naturally invisible) back pain attack and I'm hogging a seat sweating in pain while spry sixty-somethings glare at me. Sorry for the digressions there, I just don't have my seat karma worked out yet and until I got started typing didn't realise what a biggie those hours of guilt were!
