To expect someone on a crowded commuter train with their 8 or 9 yo NOT to read out loud in a booming voice all the way into London...

grrrrrrrrrrrr

Surely he can bring a book to read himself, she was bellowing out this bloody book god knows what it was all teh way in

I might pick one up from Tescos for tea.....

thinks, we have the salad stuff and I can bake some potatoes, that would be nice and easy......

So did she grip it firmly in both hands, start at the neck and work her way down? I can't imagine how you'd eat a whole chicken (unless Tom Jones stylee, ripping it apart and chucking bones, and that would really go down well on a train)

no no no

can't have mackerel on a train

ewwwwwwwwww

I think I might be Fishist too.

Surely most commuters don't want to be crammed in small spaces with kipper or egg like smells? People smells are bad enough .

I sometimes chew gum or suck mints so that I am not overwhelmed by nasty smells.

She pulled off the legs, but just gnawed on the rest......hence the grease on her chin.

i have been known to read to wee one on public transport, but not very loudly oh and occassional wheels on ^Bus - better than a squawking baby tho but i do draw the line at oily fish and my gawd crockery - No No No

Honest to God CD. I could hardly believe it!

It was horribly compulsive (and repulsive) watching

I can feel a thread coming on

Caroline is a suitably middle class name I would have thought.

OK, it was me.

you must prove it

Which restaurant did you take 20 of your close friends to last night?

Was it the eat like a pig buffet for a fiver a head with free coke refills (not watered down much) at Pizzaland?

OMG
it was!!!

You are boomer
you need a name change!

Does Pizzaland still exist btw?

Have just remembered, I was in bed at 9pm watching Torn. I think it might have been Xenia .

erm
it was at 8am today!

nah she was bust typing telling all the sahm to get a job and go to work to be scoffing grub

i mean nah she was busy typing telling all the sahm to get a job and go to work to be scoffing grub

At 8am your honour, I was feeding the baby whilst ignoring my DD chucking her shredded wheat on the floor having waved the big ones off to catch the school bus. All this whilst muttering under my breath " wtf welcome to my world".

ScottishMummy - I was speed reading this thread and was v shocked when I thought you were confessing to secretly urinating on the chairs on public transport

Anyone who cannot obey the rules on commuter trains should be forcibly ejected IMO. The rules include being reasonably quiet - if you must talk or phone, keep the noise down and make it brief. Not taking up more space than you should - keep your feet/arms/legs to yourself. No eating. Don't put your feet on the seats and don't block the gangways with your luggage. Don't read someone else's newspaper over their shoulder.

I'm sure there are other ones that escape me. But anyone who fails the edam test should be barred from every railway station in the land. In my jolly reasonable opinion.

Don't be smelly or have any nervous tics that are distracting when reading about the demise of Jose

Don't scratch or pick your nose

Don't have a cold

If you have chosen to sit on the outside seats, so people joining at stations further down the line have to clamber over you to sit down, shift your blooming feet while they do it!

at the loss of the Special One.

I think I'm in mourning .
