I was a fan of Zoe Williams for years. She behaves decisively, while hovering between alternatives. But an excuse, Zoe, I made a mistake in rejecting a seat that was presented to you on the tube (A strange person presented to me a seat on public transportation – and cast me in a crisis, January 28).
Several years ago when I was sixty -six years old, a young man gave me a seat on the tube, and I politely refused. My husband later told me: I was not lamented and perhaps the young man would never be disturbed to be in mind for anyone else in the future. I had to agree, I made a mistake.
I am 82 years old and widow now, and I can walk 10 miles or more, but if I offer a seat, or one of them says that he will carry my condition on the stairs of the station, tell them and tell them that their mother will be proud of them.
