Madam, – I am a frequent user of the Dart (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) rail service, and I am astonished that so many people ignore the clearly displayed signs: “Feet are not for seats”.
Not only is this practice unhygienic for obvious reasons, but many of the practitioners of this uncivilised behaviour are well-dressed individuals, who give the outward, but illusory appearance of sophistication.
In all of my travels throughout the world, never have I witnessed such ignorance and lack of respect for public property and for fellow travellers. – Yours, etc,
