And what about the fashion for gigantic shoulder bags? The amount of times I've been hit on the side of the head or in the ribs with those, and on occasions it has hurt. Or someone will clump down next to me on the train (on the occasions I get a seat of course) but doesn't think it might be considerate to remove their enormous and heavy bag from their shoulder first, so you get alternately bashed and squashed for the entire journey.

Sorry to moan, but I live in hope that some of the offenders will read this and be a bit more aware.....but somehow I doubt it!
