        It came up on my newsfeed and as someone who uses public transport very often (almost everyday) it is so true :hehe:

          Significantly better on the lines with the new trains (which are excellent btw) as there are more doors. Used to be a nightmare as everyone wanted to hang about by the doors.

          Credit where it's due - less pluggers now!

              I stand corrected! In my defence, the word plugger is a new one for me!

                Like many things regarding the grammar we were taught at school, the 'fewer v less' debate is spurious regarding things that can be counted.
                The word 'less' was used for centuries before some academics decided that it was non-U in the 18th century.

                  I think I will stick with the usage since the 18th century, not before. I am confused enough at the best of times!

                    I preferred the trains where you had a door for every seating area. Why can’t they bring that back?

                      But people still employing the word 'less' in respect of numbers represents usage, old fruit :-)

                        Shouldn't the valleys version be "Are you a plugger, butt?".

                          They say less is more sometimes so that's me really confused now
