Grrrrrrrrrr.........

OK, here's a grump. I left home early yesterday morning. Tram and two trains to Amsterdam. All day in the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum with very little sustenance. Going home in the evening the train from Leiden to Den Haag HS was overflowing.  I stood for the duration (15 minutes?), one of three standing in a carriage that was full of young people - some of them a quarter of my age. Had the tables been turned I would have vacated my seat promptly and willingly. I am sad that this social courtesy seems to have all but disappeared. Saying which, I did see a young man stand for an older gentleman on the tram the other day. I was very heartened!
