Re: People who put their feet up on the opposite seats at the back of the bus

Feet belong on the floor. The other thing that gets me is when mothers put their toddlers with muddy, wet shoes, to stand on the seat beside them so they can look out the window.

Re: People who put their feet up on the opposite seats at the back of the bus

About 4 years ago, I was at the Cinema with my neighbour and some Teenagers about 18 years old had their feet up on the back on the chairs and my neighbour told them to put their feet down, they gave us a dirty look but they did.

And these people have the vote!

Perhaps there's an argument to support raising the voting age to 21?

Perhaps we could even consider the introduction of a 'common sense' test before permitting voting! Before I am shot down in flames, this would not test intelligence, money or class, but simply whether we have the sense to understand how to behave responsibly.

The upshot would be that the Loony Party would lose the vast majority of its support!

16 year-olds having the vote is too young in my opinion. At the Scottish elections you could see them all in their school uniforms lining up.

I haven't been on a bus for like a billion years but I can't remember ever doing it myself. Maybe we should all carry a bottle of ladies perfume and spray their shoes so they smell nice - Brut for the young ladies.

Re: People who put their feet up on the opposite seats at the back of the bus

Some 16 year olds are mature enough to have a vote, but many are not. However, a lot of adults haven't much of a clue either. I suspect many didn't understand the issues surrounding Brexit. I spoke to one or two people who admitted they didn't know what it was all about, but voted to leave because their family, friends or neighbours were voting that way!

Werent we all once young, carefree, silly, irresponsible, immortal...I know I was and it felt wonderful!

Re: People who put their feet up on the opposite seats at the back of the bus

I was never carefree, I did some crazy things and still do, but I had to take my responsibilities very seriously. I was married at 19 and a mother at 20.
