The Age of Chivalry by Eternlslady
The other day whilst travelling in peak hour on a train with my sons (neither old enough to walk so they were in a double pram) I was dismayed to find that, apparently, business men have more right to seating than a mother struggling with two children.
I had spent a very long couple of hours shopping for a gift at the nearest major complex to my house (half an hour away). I was completely worn out and trying to hold on, comfort my youngest who was also tired and therefore upset, and ensure two year old and my purchases remained in the pram, when I realised that my baby's crying was disturbing the seated passengers.
These grown men had the hide to make a remark about young mothers not being able to handle their children because they are nothing more than children themselves. My patience snapped and I was about to tell the men exactly what I thought of them when I was saved by a knight in a public school uniform.
The young boy (I'm guessing about 14) who had boarded the train at the last stop had apparently had enough too. He turned to the men and said "Maybe if you weren't so busy insulting her you would have had the time to read the sign above your heads." Sure enough they were directly under the notice about giving up the seat to the disabled, pregnant, elderly and less mobile passengers. Better still the boy had raised his voice loud enough for the whole section of the carriage to hear. All of a sudden I had every seat to choose from.
This just goes to show that there are still a few young people who believe in courtesy and are willing to defend this belief. I only wish that I had found out his details so I could ring his school and thank him properly.
