    Oh we went one better than that the other week coming back from Reading to Swindon. It was a 5 car Cucumber vice a 9 car so we ended up sat at a table opposite a guy, who spent the entire journey dressing down his wayward daughter via a video conference call on his laptop. He went on and on at here about her failings, wrong choice of friends, you let me/your mother/your brother etc. down and poor core values in a voice loud enough half the coach could hear. More like a manager rollicking an employee than a father/child heart to heart!

    When we got off the train, my missus turned to me and said, "No wonder his daughter's the way she is with a father like that!" Not the sort of talk you have remotely let alone in a train full of people.

    I hate having to sit with a random person or people on public transit. At least last time I had to it was a 150 with 3+2 seating so the random person wasn't like right next to me.
    (Just to be clear I have nothing against that person in particular I just like having my own personal space)

    It depends, it's not necessarily better, especially if they're crammed...
