So according to the Evening Standard, an ex-commuter has published a online guide applying military tactics to help commuters get a train seat.
Excellent idea. I love the website: http://www.brelson.com/ - commuters: prepare for war. It comes complete with colour-coded illustrations and has consulted ancient Chinese battle expert Sun Tzu on tactics for 'the daily fight to sit down'.
I covered a bit of this subject in The Little Book of Tube Etiquette but with a more humorous approach and definitely with a more feminine manner. I'm sure both will work...
Some of my top tips:
- If single and female, smile sweetly at a young man who is seated...
- If you have a boyfriend, position him a little further up the area between the seats...
- Carry big bags and moan at their weight...
- When you get on the tube, position yourself directly in the middle of the seats and be ready to politely edge at any signs of upcoming vacancies...
- Hold your space, the seat directly behind and in front of you is YOURS...
...and so on.
For the full set of tips, The Little Book of Etiquette is available now at Waterstones, Foyles, Amazon and other bookshops. Follow me on Twitter @LauraKing14
The Little Book of Tube Etiquette shares the humorous experiences of commuting on the Tube and the tongue-in-cheek etiquette that fellow tube users should follow. This blogs features excerpts from the book and ongoing experiences of the London Underground
