Title: Keeping the seat next to you clear Post by: grahame on September 04, 2018, 16:48:46 https://www.displayfakefoods.com/store/pc/Fake-Spills-c42.htm
Quote High Quality and Made in America. Great for gifts with many varieties to choose from. Our spills include drinks, food, and household items such as nail polish and pen leaks.

For the sake of clarity, the wet patch was not my doing! Title: Re: Keeping the seat next to you clear Post by: Bmblbzzz on September 04, 2018, 19:47:09 Fun idea if you're saving a seat for someone, or even for yourself while you go to the buffet/loo/etc. But otherwise not.

You'll find the person interested in the seat will quickly move on. If it looks like they're still going to sit next to you, say loudly, "It's my first day allowed back on the trains since the incident..."

Much like starting up an obnoxious barbecue on the beach to keep your "space".

You need a ticket for each seat you 'occupy' This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
