All I can think is "weirdo". It is definitely a post lockdown thing... Here Wyot, people tend to walk in the middle of the pavement, don't get me started on those with bikes who serve from side to side. Perhaps I am just scary looking GM....

Rich	We can't really do bi-level (double decker) trains here in the UK though can we because of all those 19th century tunnels across the country that don't give much clearance even to regular trains and it's just not feasable to do anything to all these tunnels.

In France I'm often on them and prefer top level for views but always book LOWER levels for legs and to be able to keep eye on baggage. When I travelled on the train to Brum earlier in the Spring of this year, people left their luggage in the gangway while they went through the carriages to find a seat or stood up a long way away where they dumped their shit whilst their cases were rolling around. If I stand on a train, I will go to a corner near where the doors are lean against my case. I don't mind standing for a couple of hours. Have the young , those with a single rucksack and able-bodied use the top deck of bilevel trains.
Rick	Well, it's reassuring to know this isn't my entirely private gripe! I really do care about being polite and respectful, so this kind of thing does my head in!
