When you're sitting on a bus or train and you notice a pregnant woman/elderly person or a mother with an infant getting on, please stand up and offer your seat. Especially if you're sitting at the front where there are signs advising you to do so.
There have been times I would be sitting by the window in the middle of the bus and have to ask the person next to me if I could get up so I could offer my seat to an old lady standing at the front because all the kids down there wouldn't budge.
Its much worse in Singapore, but then thats a city so it's probably the same in London (Nin?). When the MRT (tube) got busy, all the seats would be taken up and even if you were a pregnant old lady with an infant I don't think anyone would have offered you a seat. Well there were some who'd offer but the majority of the time, everyone just ignored everyone else. Sometimes I would offer my seat to an elderly person and have to stop people trying to pinch it as soon as I got up. They just didn't care. :/
So thats lesson 1, keep an eye out for lesson 2: If you must call someone during a coach trip, make it short, do not chat for half an hour and then make another phone call because that just ticks me off!

To a certain extent, agreed, but with a modicum of respect and wit I fear.
Age supposedly brings 'knowledge' and 'restraint', however if you never had them in the first place, then old or not, being rude and ignorant is not acceptable:)

Being rude and ignorant is the best thing about being old. Old age needs some perks. :)

The last one to do so (that I can remember) was a short story. Now furious rants are doing so this place could become interesting.
