What on earth has happened to good manners these days - and I am not on about youngsters, either, but people of all ages.

My husband and I caught the Eastbourne bus on Good Friday and, as the one before hadn't turned up, it was absolutely packed. People were even sitting on the stairs.

Two things really annoyed me. One was that people at the bus stops wouldn't wait for passengers to get off the bus. When I was not so much younger, we always waited, Now, it is one big push to get on and other people at the back of the queue push their way to the front if they can.

The other is that people don't give up their seats on the bus to the pregnant, disabled or elderly.

Even very young children are encouraged to sit tight by their mothers. I used to sit mine on my lap if there was someone who needed the seat more than they did. I guess the argument now will be that over-60s don't pay - but surely it has been earned.
