Cos it's bohemian rhapsody and the irritating yuppie couple opposote have talked on the quiet carriage for the last 50 minutes?

Fuck it, I'm doing it anyway. Might mime along too.

YABU people are allowed to speak its called being sociable!

However playing music out loud in public is a total pet hate of mine so I would say that :o

I'm on headphones

You're not supposed to talk on a mobile so why be allowed to talk to the person next to you? That's twice the noise?

You are allowed to talk to people on a quiet carriage. Most people find hearing half a conversation more annoying.

I still don't get why it's acceptable for 2 people to be talking to each other but hadthey been talking quietly on their phones they would have been justifiably sanctisanctimoniously tutted at.

What train company are you travelling with?

YABU, "Yuppie"? What decade are you in? Is it a time travelling train? Grin

South west trains

You're allowed headphones as long as the music doesn't leak out. Mine may have leaked out a tiny bit on the loudest I could stand (which was only about a third of the bar I'm such a wimp)

I am crammed onto a train for an hour. If I'm to be a sardine, I'd like to be a peaceful sardine. Is that precious? I wouldn't complain if it wasn't the quiet carriage.

Possibly. They got on at ascot and talked about dinner parties and crap. I was too lazy to think of the modern alternative!

SW trains guidance for quiet carriages says "please show consideration by not using mobile phones and making sure your music doesn't disturb others".

Doesn't say no talking, you're making it up as you go along a bit I think.

You're in the wrong place, you need the trappist monks carriage Grin.

Yes it is if you're making up rules to suit yourself.

I'd bloody love a trappist monks carriage. Or a miserable sullen gits carriage.

Sadly I always seem to end up in the overcrowded fighty carriage.
