I made a mundane but slightly interesting observation on the station platform this morning as I stood waiting for the train. There appears to an unspoken but mutually agreed system in operation on the platform; that the school children stand one end & the adults the other.
It is a system that appears to work well, ensuring that one section of the train is reserved for "grown ups" who want to escape hoards of excited school children. I guess that systems like it operate to certain extents in a range of situations, (and are what give rise to the that's my pew syndrome) but it is just so visible on a platform.
