I havent given up..
I use the tube when in london and am amazed at the men sat down who dont move when pregnant, elderly or just women get on ... The off side is that if I was to get up then everyone would look at me stupid... But I couldnt just sit there... So now when I use the tube I usually stand anyways..
last year sometime I held a door open for a woman who stood back to let me through.. when she saw I was letting her through she said I was being plain awkward
Old people are the worse mannered people on this planet

..... I cant wait to be that old hehehe
