Get up, walk to the vestibule, and make your call from there. This is not rocket science. But if you're the sort of person who likes to pace up and down while talking on the phone, please try not to set off the automatic door each time you pass it... Adam |

23:17:51 on Fri, 18 Nov 2005, Tom Anderson remarked: I don't care what people do on trains/busses/in public as long as it doesn't affect other people. As soon as that happens, the perpetrator has over-stepped the mark, and should stop. So if someone insists on silence, and that affects someone who has an important phone call to make... Get up, walk to the vestibule, and make your call from there. This is not rocket science. We then have the situation that what one person does (insist on quiet) affects other people (who have to move to the vestibule). But as a way to make a call with less impact on one's fellow travellers (and I'd always want people to minimise the impact) it will indeed work on *some* trains. It's a poor choice in something like an HST because the vestibules are very noisy, and impossible in most modern EMU/DMU because they don't have vestibules in the sense you probably mean. And there are issues related to leaving ones seat (with or without possessions left behind) and if the train is full and standing, moving around it may not be an option. -- Roland Perry |

The HST I was on the other evening had a door with a hair trigger. It continuously slammed open and closed (much faster than I had previously noticed possible) every time anyone was stood with a few feet of it anywhere in the vestibule. -- Roland Perry |

Now answer the question. If people were to show consideration and respect for those around them not only would new nanny laws not be needed, but many existing restrictions could be removed. The direct answer to your question that as long as some people make life unpleasant for others then I will tolerate nanny laws since I'm not one of those who is being restricted. |

![]() "Stephen (Sausagefans.com)" wrote in message ... In article , says... I have a proposal for dealing with (punishing) people who make loud business phone calls on trains (or any other public transport). ("I'm on the train ... buy! ... sell!") Record the calls or make some note, especially if there's anything that sounds confidential, and publish transcripts or summaries on the web or a newsgroup. Tell them the volumn of their call is bothering you and could they keep it down? I had a group on schoolchildren sitting behind me on Thursday and one of them had an MP3 player pumpin' out some dread riffin' at a loud volume. Fortunately, I had my new Bliss album recorded on my phone and was able to humiliate him into submission. Stress over. ;-) -- Brian "Anyway, if you have been, thanks for listening." |
