Manners
According to press reports local bus services in Dorset have erected signs encouraging polite queueing following reports of O.A.P. passengers barging, queue jumping etc in order to gain the best seats on coastal bus routes, mainly the Bournmouth to Swanage
"breezer" service. In some cases young children have been pushed aside and some having stood aside receive no word of thanks.
What sort of example does this set the youth of today and who would complain loudest if youngsters behaved like that?

I find age doesn't really matter how or who are the worst for manners
the elderly on many accasion's are so rude we always taught our boys to hold doors open if they were first ect very often not a word of thanks from the old miserable demanding wringlies
So I would poke them in the arm and tell them Ho ! "Is a thank you to much to ask "as for the young they to are very rude not because there
bad but because they have there heads stuck in there phones , the very young need to be taught by there parents, but I find manners becoming very much non exsistent between all agesonly a few weeks ago there was a news report a wheelchair person was asked to leave the bus because a young mum had her pushchair in the place for his chair and refused to move it , even though the sign said "polite notice please give up for wheelchairs
she only had to fold it down but flatly refused saying it was a polite notice not a demand imagine what her kids will grow up to be like 0 -

Good manners and politeness costs nothing. It can however make a huge difference to those whom you come in contact especially those who may be in a vulnerable period of their lives.
Who knows we might be in that situation ourselves in the future.

Actually of late I have often been impressed by politeness especially ( Strangely enough) on the London Underground.
My position required me to travel to London at least once a month,- sometimes more, and go to Westminster to see ministers etc. On arrival at Paddington I would take the Bakerloo line to Baker St and then the Jubilee Line to Westminster.
At that time & before my recent "Op" my back was very bad so I was using a stick. Each section of my journey was quite short, 3 or 4 stops so I wasn't bothered about sitting down, but on almost every occasion some young person would leap up and offer their
seat to me. Sometimes it was quite embarrassing but it would have been very rude to have rejected the offer!So Politeness and Courtesy has not entirely gone away!

I'd broken my ankle a few years ago and in plaster with a boot. My OH was in hospital so was visiting him after work. Getting on the bus, and as it was rush hour, it was standing room only. No one offered me a seat, and worst of all a very pregnant woman
was also standing, and surprising of all, not one sitting woman offered her a seat0 -
The concessionary bus pass allows people to travel after half nine weekdays,,, not before ,,, Just Saying .

My experiences in Majorca earlier this year suggests that the Germans have now been made to look like pussycats!
Its the Russians that are agressive, - push in, reserve all the chairs and then don't actually use them. Then when hotel staff remove the towels, they cause an unholy row when they re appear after lunch and set about causing mayhem!
They are big, loud and aggressive! And that was long before the Euro's
