Businessman Told Teen Builder To Vacate His Tube Seat As 'He Had A Better Job'

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/businessman-told-teen-builder-to-vacate-his-tube-seat-as-he-had...

Jamie Loveday was travelling home from work last week when he was approached by a man on a Victoria line train when it stopped at Green Park station.

The teen, who was dressed in his workwear after a day on site at the Adelphi Building in Westminster, said the businessman was a "well-spoken smartly-dressed man" between 40 and 50.

The businessman approached the teen, and told him to vacate his seat because he was the finance manager of an upmarket hotel, according to the Evening Standard.

Loveday told the paper: "I couldn't believe what I was hearing and said "excuse me" before saying no I wasn't going to give up my seat. Everyone's faces around me dropped.

"He muttered 'this is outrageous' and stormed off down the carriage before asking the same question to a Chinese girl who moved for him"

He might have got a different reaction if he'd tried that up here on the metro !

He would certainly have got a different reaction from me !!!  I would have told him I'd been labouring my *** off all day in the cold, while he sat on his, in a nice warm office, and he could kiss mine !!!

Oh no - the 'Do you know who I am?'  Syndrome.

Pompous businessman.  Probably in the Donald Trump School of Smart Rrs Behaviour.

Can't repeat what I would have told him if he asked me to move.

I take it by up here, Joe,you mean the NE.

He certainly would have been told where to go by my builder son up here if it actually happened.

But as some of the comments under the article say it sounds far fetched to me.

If he had tried it up here he would have got a form of endearment " A GLESCA KISS".

"well-spoken smartly-dressed man"

The days of the old boy network are alive and well it appears. Not sure what he was doing travelling with the Hoi Polloi though, unless it was the Chauffeur's day awf.
