I was talking to my mother in law...I agree Amanda.<br /><br />I was talking to my mother in law about it and she said that her friend who is 90 was on a bus the other day and stood up to offer her seat to another elderly passenger who didn't have a seat! She certainly put the rest of the passengers to shame! <br /><br />From your comments, it's reassuring to see that there are still some good people out there. Hopefully the ignorant idiots that we've all experienced are few and far between!

It's nice to see that some people still have the same morals that I was brought up with! <br /><br />How terrible what happened to you on the train! It's ridiculous that some people could be so self centred!

Please give up your seat to the elderly or less able at busy times". <br /><br />I personally have always heeded that advice and make sure my children do too! But agree it's a mark of the terrible state of manners in society today that most people simply ignore it.<br /><br />Jess, you certainly weren't expecting too much (Momma L too)!<br /><br />Once when I was pregnant, an elderly lady with a walking stick offered to give up her place for me on a packed bus. I declined, though luckily it put others around in their place and I was offered the seat by a younger (rather embarrassed) man instead.<br /><br />www.glamumous.co.ukAmanda Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253950126983322536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272720493801321753.post-56772008463029505142013-01-14T03:56:25.086-08:002013-01-14T03:56:25.086-08:00I feel exactly the same and would always give up m...I feel exactly the same and would always give up my seat to someone pregnant / with a baby / elderly etc. <br /><br />When I was pregnant with my first daughter I fainted on a busy train from Birmingham and had to sit in the hallway bit by the door as still no one offered a seat! <br /><br />I also couldn't believe that in waiting for my 20 week scan in the boiling hospital corridor not one of the men or children that were using all the available seats offered it to any of the pregnant ladies who were left standing. I would have booted hubby or my kids up if it was me!<br /><br />L x <br /><br />http://www.blogofamom.com<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
