    On the AM Up Swanners and as usual I had the carriage to myself when I boarded at Footscray so I stationed myself in the front of the car to take advantage of the power point due to a poor laptop battery.

    Not once but twice other passengers boarded (first lot at Gisborne and the second at Kyneton) and sat DIRECTLY behind me despite the otherwise empty carriage and big yellow signs on the windows telling them to maintain distance where possible. One passenger seemed completely surprised when I pointed to the sign right next to her and asked her to move while the Gizzy group were downright hostile and told me that if I didn't like it I should move.

    With morons like this is it any wonder that we have been in lockdown for so long. If people don't get it by now what hope is there?
