I had to go to Manchester today on my way home .I went to the tram station in Manchester Piccadilly I was exhausted .I saw my tram was going to be late on the message board so I got on the tram to media city and thought I can have a sit down on this tram and sit on the platform at media city untill My tram comes. I entered the tram and sat in front of a young woman who was on the phone she spoke very elequently and when asked about a certain topic she said you know I'm not allowed to comment on that .even the person persevered trying to get information out of her ,she said you know I'm not allowed to discuss it On leaving the tram I stopped the young lady and said excuse me did you have private education (which is what I thought she must have done to speak that articulate and polite) she smiled and said yes .I then said well it was money well worth spent as you talk like a lady she smiled and said thank you and we parted
Then I thought I would walk the rest of the way home as it's only 2stops but I was still exhausted and saw my tram in the distant.i waited untill it arrived it was empty and it was full. There was no where to sit even the disabled and elderly seats were all took up by fit young people .I was only going 2 stops and if any one would have offered me their seat I would have declined
They didn't know I was only going 2 stops and not a single one offered me theirs .
Just before I got off I pretended I was on a phone which was my hand up to my ear .I shouted on the pretend phone so all the tram could hear .I shouted is that you miss Roberts my art teacher from years ago .Do you remember when you used to drum your saying into me MANNERS MAKETH THE MAN .I then shouted well you want to come on the tram and knock it into them.aI then hung up my pretend phone .

 - there is always one nutter on the tram - so it could have been worse, somebody might have offered you the seat next to the nutter. |

I do not think the young respect the old any more in our society. As far as they are concerned they think the old should just hurry up
and die. In the past people just treated each other as human beings, but now everybody has to be divided up into demographics, creates an appalling society. I see you can still chat up the women do wah, you do not seem to have lost that  I am lucky I still have my car, buses/trams are not nice places, especially when crowded. |

Kenny man yes Indo need a seat these days .and most people usually offer me one because I must look like I'm passed my sell by date.and I've got to say it's usually not the British it's the foreigners who give me theirs .some British do

Recently I had to take my car in for some recall work, I was offered a hire car with no charge. The hire company met me at the dealership and wanted card details in case I had an accident or got a chipped windscreen. The cost to me would be £125 if it got a stone chip in it. Upon checking the windscreen it already had about 6-8 chips in it, I asked them how they would know if the chip was whilst I had it. I ended up telling them to f.o. and I caught the bus home, it was the first time I had been on a bus(in the UK) for about 20 years.
I had to catch another 2 days later to pick my car up, I was astonished by the number of women/girls with prams and 3 -5 sprogs in tow. There was only room for 2 or 3 of these prams and the amount of women with prams that were not allowed on the bus was 15-20 on both journeys. Surely their Universal Credit would stretch to a 7 seater SUV. This country is going down the pan. |

Look on the bright side Do Wah
Perhaps you don'y look as old and decrepit as you think, but like a man in the prime of life...so they saw no need to offer you their seat Yes you are right about a car it costs money and costs money to run, but it is the convenience Yes not having enough money is a problem when we are old, I suffer from that myself, but not as much as you Do Wah so I feel sorry for you. Pity both of us don't have a picture like Dorian Gray in our attic, then we would both look and feel 21 |
