Never crowded on my bike .....

You need the Japanese People Pushers, you do.

What I really hate is when people get on the train after me and stand so close that I can't read my book, just so that they've got enough room to read their paper. It usually means they get an elbow in the ribs for the remainder of the journey.

Dave, in those circumstances, I always turn my headphones up loud. They soon give me my space back.

I never saw the FT on the central line up my way! Only the metro. "Please take your newspaper with you when you leave" Fuck off, why do a cleaner out of a job. Besides, I want that metro when that bloke's done. reduce RE-USE recycle.

Selfish space hogging short journey commuters should respect the space of those of us already on the train.
We've paid more for our ticket than you, and thus deserve the seat and reading room. We also deserve the space for our space hogging bags

Well I know in NYC the subway newspaper readers have highly refined the art of folding.

I had never before seen people folding the New York Times into such tiny little parcels, and still somehow be able to turn the pages.

But they probably don't do that anymore... that was back when people still had some manners.

I stick to books myself. But if the situation gets out of control I will consider reading my philips world atlas on the tube, just to keep the paper-toting riff-raff in their place.

I only travel on the tube about once a month, and the overland trains a bit more regularly - I'm amazed at how rude people are on both...

Elbows, Bags, Ipods and bad smells...

Eugh

In not just the tube & train: Londoners are rude on the street, on buses, in shops. But most large cities are not too dissimilar IMHO.

Except Manchester. You just need to casually remark to your companion “I wonder where [such and such] is?" and half the street turns, smiles and gesticulate enthusiastically in the correct direction. Freaky.

All Londoners are rude, arrogant and just crap people. ( Well most I deal with anyway)

I was on the Central Line not long ago and felt a tickle on the back of my neck. I thought the label on my shirt was sticking out so I reached behind to tuck it in and found out someone had decided it was not unreasonable to rest the top of their unfolded metro against my neck. If people want to read their papers in that way they should get a taxi.
