To think that if someone elderly gets on a busy bus...

[NotaStatistic]

...they should not expect a seat?!?

I would of course give up a seat for someone elderly or less able than me but should they think they're entitled to a seat just because they're old especially if they get on bus which already has people standing?!?

Your views please

lesley - no, you haven't nced so you aren't trolling.

what is nced?

There is a thread about bad parenting too Cod.

namechanged. it is a GREAT op. Well done. I love the hypothetical permit.

Thank you Hully. Well I wanted to be inclusive

They should be able to use the priority seats if they are available - and if able bodied people are using them they should of course stand and move.

If they are taken by other elderly or disabled people then other people on the bus should stand for them.

TBH I would probably judge someone who didn't. And yes, I do know of hidden disabilities, etc. but rightly or wrongly I would judge.

Wait! What? Mute the self service till?! How? Tellmetellmetellme.

Oh dear. I promised DS1 we could go on the little bus that goes through our village twice a day just for something to do.

But now I am afraid that Hully will hunt us down and melt us for glue.

Yes that is strictly forbidden kungfu. Unless it's the night bus that may be ok.

coco - On the self service till before you start look at the screen. At the bottom is a sound sign with little bars. If you press on it you can turn the sound down or mute it totally. I do it all the time now

I'd give me seat to anyone that looked like they needed it more than me. Hardly anyone did when I was pregnant...Nobbers

It's not the night bus. We aren't allowed out at night here in The Village.

It's a sort of inflated minibus. No wheelchair/buggy or any other sort of spaces and is almost entirely utilised by The Old.

I thought you had put 'inflatable minibus' kungfu That I would love to ride on.

I read that as inflatable minibus too

kungfu maybe Hully will give you a special dispensation to have one ride.

I'm sure it was Hully who demanded that I give her DS2 when he was a few days old.

Maybe she would take him in exchange for letting DS1 and I live...

Inflatable bus would be useful. You could let a little air out to squeeze past other vehicles on the narrow lanes.

Yes, and when the passengers fall over they wouldn't hurt themselves.

They could bounce joyfully all the way into town.

Ffs the sweeping generalisations on this thread. Not all sahms watch Jeremy Kyle y'know!

I think the best thing you could do with this thread is miss the point entirely Quiet.

'TBH I would probably judge someone who didn't. And yes, I do know of hidden disabilities, etc. but rightly or wrongly I would judge.

Y'know what Hula that's OK; I would rather someone wrongly judge and give up a seat (if someone asks I can always explain about ds3 after all), than be a seat hogging twat.

NO to inflatable buses! My lot would think it was a tbouncy castle! Thyen where would we be? last time ds1 went on a bouncy castle, at my aunt's wedding last June, he was on for 8 bloody hours and ended up with 2 black eyes next day (you try hauling an autistic 11.5 year old off a bouncy castle with all your family shouting 'don't be a misery' as they down their 12th glass of crap wine).
