Banning snacking on public transport

[Blackrod]

Good luck with policing that one. I ll take the car instead so that will be good for the environment. Perhaps seducating some parents and their kids what to eat might be a good idea.

What springs to mind when I see Blackrod has started a thread

[Dyched]

People are all to quick to have a pop at public transport in this country. But how people behave and treat it whilst using it is an utter disgrace.

I’ve used transport in many of the worlds major cities and they way people respect others is incredible.

My biggest peeve is those that treat it as if they are the only ones using it. Shouting, phones on loudspeaker when making a call, playing music out loud, eating smelling ******* food, beer cans chucked about, feet on chairs. **** the lot of em. Wankers.

Modern society. People no longer want privacy. They want to be loud and heard, share their life online, let everyone know their opinions and then complain when others slag them off or don't agree with them.

This.

Away days with other fans are a particularly good example.

then fracking. Where's it all going to end Frank...fudge packing ?

[LoveCurryPies]

I only travel by train once or twice a year, usually when going to London. Might have a sandwich or something to nibble with a cup of railway coffee . The thought that you won't be able to have any refreshments during a 2 or 3 hour journey just makes me think take the car!

What a load of Phookin ********.. Whoever came up with that idea wants horse whipping.. Then put in a ducking stool ..

[ŽižkovClaret]

Load of shite. We have dining cars here and you cant even have a sandwich.

Stacking .... Oh no come 1st of November Kent becomes a Truck park in "project stack"

Nanny state

But you'd treat the obesity on the nanny state NHS? I'm not fussed either way. Either no state intervention in your health or lots of state provision in return for which we modify our behaviour. The worst of both worlds we have now is the problem.

Nanny state

My mate "Bunter" blames his Nanny for his weight problem...

[thelaughingclaret]

Last Friday I ate an apple on the train, according to this if these charlatans got their way that would be illegal as I’m setting a bad example to children? What the hell.
I often have sandwiches and other food on trains and I’m not going to stop because some kid might see me and think it’s ok to eat and apple or a ham sandwich too. Jesus wept.

[Blackrod]

Maybe people who have been told to reduce weight by their GP and don’t meet targets should pay a surcharge to the NHS. When you see someone who is obese buying and eating crap they need to take responsibility for that choice.

Everybody dies, and most people die of something that needs extensive and expensive treatment by the NHS. If you look after yourself perfectly, you're still going to get ill and die; but it might be after taking an extra twenty years' pension out of the kitty.

[LeadBelly]

Completely impractical idea- given that there are loads of current poor behaviours not policed on public transport.

Slap substantial tax on unhealthy food, use the income towards NHS/banging home the message to parents about how harmful it is for kids to start life with poor dietary habits.
Everybody needs a treat food/snack now and then and no harm done eating on public transport if you dont leave crumbs/debris everywhere and chuck you packaging about (that's another matter).
