Our train from Basel was taken out of traffic. So we sat on the floor on 2 different trains. After Göttingen I got a seat.This is no problem of course and I never said it was. Overcrowded trains is a great sign because it means the demand for train travel is high!

Copy of her tweet.

She just wanted to show that she was at last on her way home for Xmas. Her tweet was nothing about the fact she was sitting on the floor. Do you really think, after the transport she has been using, sitting on the floor would be any trouble for her?

elastic you obviously do not read other people's posts?

I said things like this detract from her message, a silly post that has gone viral.

GT has done an excellent job of publicising Climate Change, I said her PR people (and yes she does have them) were at fault!!!!

At no point did I say GT was at fault!

But, you said the photo was staged. It wasn't. It was just taken at the beginning of her long journey.

I did read your post. I took it exactly how it was written.

Here we go again...no the photo wasn’t ‘staged’. She did get a seat but not for several hours, as the train company now admits. BUT she said she wasn’t upset and in fact it showed how many people were now using the trains.

Why do some people always fall for the worst that social media makes up?

Do the right thing GG13 and admit you got it wrong. That’s what Ug did when she was fooled into believing the boy on the floor of A&E was staged.

Respect to her for apologising.

You there Grannygravy?

Shes’s having a lie down in a darkened room perhaps?

I have been at the gym and then whent straight to my DILs.

I got "the train information" from GMB news this morning, if it is as you have said GMB has got it wrong, and I apologise for my post.

Accepted ??

Is that Piers Morgan and that woman?! Stick to the BBC.

I think it is rapidly reaching a point whereby anything you read/hear has to be checked more than Santa’s Naughty or Nice list.

No problem with Greta, as I think she has the right idea, and I share her frustration with impotent, self-interested politicians. However, I object to the idea that being "eco-friendly" is something new. When I was her age plastic was little used, with glass, reuseable bottles for milk, orange juice and pop. Bottled water? What was that? Our shopping was packed in brown paper bags which we then cut up and used to cover our school books. Blue paper bags for sugar. Very little in the way of electrical devices in the home. Lots of stuff - tea, sugar, flour etc. sold loose. Few cars on the road. Yes, coal fires produced smogs, but we sorted that out. We didn't get everything right, but we did OK.

Is the train photo the one were she is eating lunch from plastic containers?
I don't need some precosious kid telling me how to save the planet its not a new thing after all
