"AND why should I, it should be really obvious. as I said, never happens in any clinic I have been to in UK"

That says it all JJJ75. You assume everyone should be like you, think like you and if they don't they are barbarian. Your not in the UK and these people are of different cultures and sensibilities. Yes, I agree they should offer you their seat but at the same time you should be willing to request it.

When I travel to London I wish people would have the decency not to grope each other in public places in front of my children. When it bothers me enough, I ask them to stop. But I don't assume that they should be thinking like me and that they are savages for not doing so. THAT is where we disagree.
