Default Plan for dealing with obnoxious phone calls on trains?

Not sure about "larger louts" (seems a bit fattist to me) but screaming
brats, or "children" as we call them, have as much right to be on a
train as you do (assuming they are not in the quiet carriage). With the
best will in the world, children sometimes make loud unexpected noises
and even responsible parents cannot - and indeed should not - expect
them to remain mute on a long train journey.


Incorrect. Anyone, and I do mean anyone, who acts in a fashion resulting in
other peoples' journeys being adverseley affected should not travel. If
they're a kid, then it's their parent's fault. Kids do not have carte
blanche to run around ****ing everyone else off. No-one's saying they
should remain mute, but if they're being noisy, there's no excuse.

Now can you come up with a way to deal with screaming brats and larger
louts.
