According  to press reports local bus services in Dorset have erected signs encouraging polite queueing following reports of O.A.P. passengers barging, queue jumping etc in order to gain the best seats on coastal bus routes, mainly the Bournmouth to Swanage "breezer" service. In some cases young children have been pushed aside and some having stood aside receive no word of thanks.

What sort of example does this set the youth of today and who would complain loudest if youngsters behaved like that?

I find age doesn't really matter how or who are the worst for manners

the elderly on many accasion's are so rude we always taught our boys to hold doors open if they were first ect very often not a word of thanks from the old miserable demanding wringlies Yell  So I would poke them in the arm and tell them Ho ! "Is a thank you to much to ask "as for the young they to are very rude not because there bad but because they have there heads stuck in there phones , the very young need to be taught by there parents, but I find manners becoming very much non exsistent between all ages 

only a few weeks ago there was a news report a wheelchair person was asked to leave the bus because a young mum had her pushchair in the place for his chair and refused to move it , even though the sign said "polite notice please give up for wheelchairs she only had to fold it down but flatly refused saying it was a polite notice not a demand Yell imagine what her kids will grow up to be like

You can see good and bad manners from all sorts of folk, young, old and middle aged, just as you can see good and bad manners in all areas of life, including, dare I say it, on this forum! Surprised

We used the "Wheezer "when in Dorset and did not notice any of the said bad manners,unless it happened after we got on? there were a lot of people waiting the "wrong side" of the stop when we got onCool

Good manners and politeness costs nothing. It can however make a huge difference to those whom you come in contact especially those who may be in a vulnerable period of their lives.

Who knows we might be in that situation ourselves in the future.
