    You can get a 40 Franc fine for eating or drinking on public transport in Switzerland.

    I worked with a chap once who grabbed a macdonald's just before he boarded his flight and stank out the whole plane. The other passengers were not best pleased.

    Reminds me of a cousin who opened up a high end delicatessen in Fulham Road thinking that he would get good sales. The problem was that the locals had over stretched themselves so much getting a mortgage for a property in that area; they had little or no disposable income. They were for ever wanted to buy on credit or pay by cheque for three pounds worth of cheese.

    Then this morning at London Bridge this woman gets on with a full burger king combo and plonks herself down next to me and tucks in - at 7.30AM for chrissake!

    I'm starting to sound like Victor Meldrew so I'll pack it in now.

    rant over.
    Just start picking you nose and inspecting the results in front of them and/or start farting loudly? That should do the trick

    The train I can understand.... it's the people who get a salad or Mac D's out on the tube, with all the crap flying around like the dandruff from that fat sweaty bloke who insists on standing in front of the door with the open window

    I had a kfc on the train last week. Got abuse from some teenage girls (in a fairly good-natured, humorous way) when I dropped some of it on the floor. I'd had 10 pints after work though
