I need LONDONER's opinions?

Question

It seems to be acceptable these days that people get onto public transport with sniffling noses and go through their whole journey sniffling.
This is a most DISGUSTING habit.
This whole week alone, every single time I sat on the tube someone sat next to me for atleast 10mins sniffling their nose.
I think if you can afford to travel by public transport, sure enough u can afford to wipe yr nose?

So my idea is to carry a roll of toilet paper with me into the tube carriage and everytime someone sits next to me with a sniffling nose - I give them a HUGE piece of the toilet roll (accompanied by a huge fuss). Surely this will embarass the person into next time having a tissue handy and wiping their nose instead of sniffling, right?


What do u think?

Answer 1

Good idea. The problem is that London has been invaded by a lot new settlers from all parts of the world, including the eastern European, where the national etiquette are not only different from those of the UK in particular and West in general, but also the minimum standard of hygiene are very low. Your idea will definitely work with some, and if it is repeated by many people, the message will reach far.

Consider me as your supporter who will try to put it into practice, right away!

All the best!/
