I'm on a train right now, and have been for about 30 mins. My fellow passengers include:

An Australian woman talking loudly on her mobile about her great life.

Some lads getting louder as they work their way through carrier bags full of Fosters

A bloke watching a DVD without headphones so we can all hear it.

Various people who shirk washing

At least i'm driving back later, don't think I could face a return journey.

Tell the sheila to shut it because you can't hear the bloke's DVD, and would he mind rewinding it a bit, cause you missed that bit, and could you chuck me a can, mate?

5/10. You haven't come across the 'gang of schoolkids' or 'feral family on their day out' yet.

Don't worry, there is still time. He has 4 trains to catch before he reaches the prize at the end!

You realise there's a bloke there watching his DVD thinking to himself, 'This is the reason I bring a DVD player, becasue of all the gits with posh phones surfing the internet while on the train...' winkhehe

I usually fart and belch and drink beer on the train and look like a pi$$ed up tramp. That way I get a table to myself and can carry on with my work.

So you cant have the beer but get the empties off the lads and you will look like a pi$$ head and all will be fine.

I had that last year- Penzance to Paddington train, 'family' got on at Dawlish, then proceeded to empty out of one of those large weaved nylon bags the following:
24 pack of Asda value crisps
4 x 2L bottles of Value diet coke
Assorted chocolate
And a load of sandwiches (content unknown/ dubious)
Said family(of 4 id like to point out) then proceeded to stuff their faces (in between the kids running up and down the train yelling, of course) within about half an hour most of the food had been consumed, so of course the kids then went on to beat each other up... And this lasted the whole way furious.

I hate the poverty wagon. On the upshot you don't have to use it for the return route!
RS2 or sticky, smelly, overcrowded, poo smeared, railed tube? I know what I'd go for.

Oh, and ask the fat bird for a crisp - tell her she wouldn't miss it.

There are few good reasons for taking public transport, especially in the form of a train (and it sounds like you're travelling cattle-class, tsk tsk) and I don't think a Lotus is one of them.
