The Lillywhites reference confused me. I presume you mean Spurs or maybe the once brilliant, tragically ruined by Mike Axley, sports shop in Piccadilly Circus.

Mothers Day was in March so surely the flowers would be dead by now?
Nah, they wear red tunic’s and big fur hats [emoji6]

No one likes selfish inconsiderate, law breaking people either !
Sorry, but the chances of the smoker a) seeing this thread and b) giving a shit are probably zero. It's like when you go on TwatBook and see some Doris post an angry rant about "the bloke in the Audi who cut me up at the lights on Boundary. Don't you know you could of (sic) killed little Chardonney" followed by 200 likes or loves from similar bints and a few "Hugz - inbox me". The Audi driver, meanwhile, may be unaware he did cut up the car, may very well not know there was a kid in there and won't see the post anyway.
Did anyone else see / inhale this guy's smoke? The lack of anyone confirming seems to suggest that the vast majority of people in that packed carriage do not read or post on NSC.
That aside, football trains are remarkably WELL behaved these days. Back in the day, people smoked in non smoking carriages, drank on dry trains and so on every weekend. I can remember getting a special back from Pompey and every light bulb in first class had been luzzed two minutes outside of Fratton.
There was some good banter on our train back yesterday between a young lad (Brighton, very pissed) and two Glasweigan United fans one of whom was in full 1970s punk gear, complete with mohican (you'd have loved him). The stuff the Brighton lad was coming out with would've led to claret all over the shop back in the day. Yesterday? Everyone was laughing. I've not bothered starting a thread on it, though, because of the 20 or so of us interacting it's likely none bar me are on NSC and it would've sunk to the bottom of the page like The GC in concrete undies.
Goodness.
Well I'll not defend the OP any more, then. That me schooled!
As for your anecdote, any older supporter of the team who has won (note to look up and fill in later) getting punchy with a drunken teenage gloater from a club who ain't never won nothing has serious tiny penis issues, but I agree that things have, in general, improved. And that is a lovely thing.
Incidentally, you haven't been test driving sports cars recently have you?
Ahh, I got it.

From [MENTION=24827]Justice[/MENTION] comment (to which I was responding) you are very fortunate to have such wonderful support.
I was commenting on a story in the UK press about an awful incident involving the Met.
Nothing to do with Malta and where one lives is irrelevant to responding to a news story.

by this, do you mean, americans?
He/she rang the Police, is that actually a sensible expectation of how they should be using their time, really?
It’s illegal to smoke on a train, it’s also antisocial, but calling the Police?
, and then coming onto a forum and whining FFS.

Nowhere does it say they ‘rang’ the police. You’ve made that bit up.
First post on thread, ‘your details are with Sussex Police’.
OK, maybe not phoned but reported nonetheless.
Maybe the OP drove to his local Nick, imagine all the pollutants………..

Yes in 2022 if he didn’t phone then the only other option to convey the details was he drove to the station.

I wonder if the OP meant British Transport Police?
Passengers are 'encouraged' to report anti-social behaviour which can easily be done by text.
I did it a few months ago when a chap was being very abusive (verbally) to passengers in quite a threatening way. He was enjoying his behaviour so much he missed his Portslade stop and had to get off at Hove (train was heading to Brighton) and wait for another train to take him back.
I had a reference number from the text response I received and then spoke with BTP officers at Brighton who took further info.
The local nick was actually open to the public? - with a real policeman available, or even a PCSO? Come on - pull the other one! Where were the pink elephants?
Only on the 1950 Southern train. Unless of course the person was smoking a pig on a spit. Of course that is worse on the young lad with asthma than smoking a ciggie.
I hate it when people batch about smokers on trains.
I agree. Don't be like the OP.
2023 is next.

If I called the police every time I saw a cyclist riding on the pavement or a driver on a mobile they would have no time to do anything else. The OB don't seem to have time to deal with important stuff let alone trivia like this.
