Off topic - Public transport rant - trains

by The Process (U20671)

I’ve been travelling more by train over the past years and while I prefer it to driving you do meet some annoying buggers.

What most annoys you about people on trains?

I think the biggest one for me is when you have your seat pre-booked, your name is displayed above the seat and you get there and someone is sitting there. You then politely let them know it’s your seat and they look at you like how dare you inconvenience me by asking me to move from the seat that you have booked.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
UK 243,610 km²
France 551,695 km²

Back to school, mate!

Yeah the Highlands and islands make up a surprisingly large amount of England in terms of land area, you're right.

Not if you're Scottish or Welsh. English yes.

I think he's a Rangers fan so he doesn't distinguish between England and the UK. I assume he is a big fan of Britannia

Yet being ranked 29/172 according to your link makes us one of the LEAST taxed countries?

Hmmm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm talking about developed countries - look compared to most of our developed European counterparts. Sorry to expect you to use a little initiative when looking at such figures. Try to compare like with like..............
