tb completely honest marg, i missed that post entirely hon sorry.
btw in a way that thread does anger me slightly, my mom is by no means old, she's 43/44, but she would not be able to make a subway or bus journey standing, as she has rheumatoid arthritus, and that 15 min journey or whatever would put her out for the rest of the week. i do think each situation needs to be assessed individually, and tbh im onyl 14 weeks preg and at this stage would be quite happily to give up my seat (although yes i have alot of hip pain) and sit on the floor, and would continue to be happy to do so, until i can't get up anymore lmao x
