Are to be asked to pledge to be courteous on public transport, give up seats to elderly, disabled and pregnant, not use bad language, ant social behaviour etc. If theya re found to not be obeying these rules they could lose their free transport passes. Wonder if it will work? |

But that was normal behaviour when we were young Ann. Only had free bus to and from school after leaving primary school. |

This is just more evidence that Parents are not teaching the children any manners and the state intervening, |

Personally being rude etc., is not just confined to the young. |

I have not really seen much evidence of bad manners in this age group, many times I have seen a child in school uniform give up a seat. On the other hand many times I have seen louts, both male and female occupying the seats for elderly/disabled, and determinedly not moving when somebody elderly has been standing.these have been in the 16 - 25 age group. I have equally seen other elderly people give up seats and move to the back when somebody more needy has got on. You can't generalise but maybe it is a start. |

Spot on PP! I expect and accept a certain amount of 'boistressness (sp :-S) from the under C15s but many older folk are rude, loud and hog seats on buses from those whose need is greater. :-| |

As to manners it has brought back an account when I took gdau aged 3 to the Natural History Museum in London. Mid afternoon we went to Harrords to get her some juice etc. On trying to leave Harrods, I opened the door with my gdau in front of me - only to be used as a commission aire by the well suited and booted 'gentlemen' pushing their way in. Eventually I got my voice and yelled -'where are your manners, I am trying to get out with a 3 yr old. - one stopped and apologised - outside - little 'un looked up and said 'London peoples are rude Grandma'. |

Why only in London. Is everyone polite everywhere else? I think not. |

I only mentioned London Wise as this is where this incident took place and was one of the worst cases of bad manners I have seen, I was concerned that g.child would get hurt. |

Sorry Chris. Didn´t mean your post. I agree the incident was appalling. |
