After another un in with one of lifes "Commuter Fatties' I have written to the company running the trains below is a copy of the letter: (in all seriousness is copied wordd for word)
Dear Sir,
As a regular traveller on your trains between London and the Sussex coast I feel I must draw your attention to a situation that is becoming increasingly frustrating.
Over the course of the last three weeks I have been virtually assaulted by two obese passengers who seem to think it is their right take up two seats with their giant sweating frames, or crush the person already sitting on the seat they wish to use.
I have tried to explain politely that if they are unable to heave their bulbous backsides into a space for one then they should either sit somewhere in which they can fit (perhaps the luggage carriage) or stand and accept that if they wish to sit then they should refrain from shovelling down vast and invariable fatty foods into their cavernous and bottomless bellys.
I believe that they pay an identical rate to travel as other passengers and yet one of the miscreants tickets clearly stated single. This clearly is not true.
May I suggest that you launch a ticket for these people: a 'Tubby Ticket' range which charges them on a simple space cost ratio.
Not only does it make the journey uncomfortable to the extent that one has no alternative to either move or be crushed by these ignorant jelly bellys.
They smell, they are usually suffering from some indstrial form of flatulence and are completely ignorant of the problems they cause for their fellow travellers.
I look forward to a swift and detailed explanation of how this problem is to dealt with.
Yours..................................
Fair enough?
