@KeepTakingTheSoma @HebrideanHecate as far as public transport goes we are twinned with Mumbai, you need sharp elbows to get on the bus now days they won't bat an eyelid at shoving old women out the way to get a seat and then pretend they don't understand when you shout at them, so you have to square up and slam them all out the way as much as they do, they are smaller then me in general but they've nearly pushed me over a few times in the scrum to get on and I've been on buses where arguments have broken out over giving people seats especially those on crutches or pregnant. no one ever gave me a seat when I was pregnant not once, I always thought the badges were hilarious dreamed up by morons who'd never set foot on public transport, I got thrown out of hospital weak and feeble after having a C-Section still with my hospital tag on and no one gave me a seat then either, fell over a few times onto other passengers trying to hang on to the polls still no seat offered only dirty looks and tuts, my mother begged people to give me a seat but nope.
