Re: Would You Give Up Your Seat To An ‘Old Bird’?

Yes, it all depends on who has the greater need.

I would stand up for anyone who was frailer or more wobbly than me, regardless of how old they were or whether they were male or female.

If all 70 year old women, were looking like this, then one would stand up!!

Re: Would You Give Up Your Seat To An ‘Old Bird’?

Yes, but to be fair, she has had work done!

Re: Would You Give Up Your Seat To An ‘Old Bird’?

Yep, would always stand up to allow a lady to sit....And a bloke too if he looked wobbly...

Re: Would You Give Up Your Seat To An ‘Old Bird’?

Call me an old fashioned git. Call me a dinosaur. Call me whatever you like. But I was bought up being taught good manners and to show consideration for the needs of others. I'm 66 and I still offer my seat on a streetcar, bus, ferry, train whatever - to somebody who obviously needs it. Regardless of sex or age.

Re: Would You Give Up Your Seat To An ‘Old Bird’?

Good manners and consideration for others never goes out of fashion.
They are the trademark of a civilised society.

Re: Would You Give Up Your Seat To An ‘Old Bird’?

Yes. Always have, always will (God willing) I

Quite right Keezoy, me too. The trouble is she doesn't look old or in need . I reckon most people were sitting there thinking .... 'Blimey, she looks just like Lulu'.

Re: Would You Give Up Your Seat To An ‘Old Bird’?

A good way to get a seat on public transport is to ask, "Excuse me, do you mind if I sit on your lap?" if they so "no" or get up so you don't sit on them you get a seat either way

Reminds me of a Dolly Parton quote.
"I've spent all that money to look cheap."
