I am 51, neither pregnant, frail enough nor pretty & slim enough to ever be offered a seat. Must times I can't even get a hold of the hand rail due to people leaning on it.
Yeah, of course I understand if you are 19-25 you need a seat more than me as you've likely been out all night. Or you are some suit who thinks your entitled as you've got an annual travel card. Yeah, well don't let the jeans fool you...so have I. I'll just hang tippy toe from the ceiling rail and never mind the shooting pain up my arm.
Oh, and when we arrive at Paddington, please feel free to either pushing front of me or shove me off the train and tut loudly.And be sure to hit me in the head with your overload back pack or trip me up with your briefcase on wheels contraption.
Don't even get me started on the 08.40 to Reading!!!!!!!
