but ma leg room!
Aye. I do quite often but get on at Stratford so… can sit where I bloody well like.
For me this is nearly as bad as people on trains that put their luggage on the seat next to them. Sure they can move it if you ask but one of the reasons for doing it is knowing full well that it will be the last seat to be filled and you are pushing people into asking.

Yeah you got me here…
I’m with you mate. Buses (and some trains) just aren’t designed for someone who’s 6’2’’. Ask and I’ll let you in, but I genuinely can’t fit in properly by the window without sitting diagonally.
