    Perhaps he was annoyed at the baby obstructing his view:D.

    Apparently he gave her the choice to cover up or walk, she chose the walk option. Plus she only had 1km to go anyways

    Lol, check out the Victorian hifi fans...

    Fair enough if she was like " check out my bounty of womanhood" as she reclined in the seat looking not unlike the Whore of Babylon.

    But if she was just getting on with it and feeding her hungry baby the way nature intended then what's the big deal?



    This thread is nothing without pics.

    it's not a big deal, it is lack of respect for joe public, nature intended many things but we used what we wanted and ignored the rest we were suppossed to respect, as for the whore of babylon never met her, but i am sure they do exist.
    for now.

    I disagree. I cannot see what is wrong with someone feeding her baby. Would the driver have preffered to listen to the child screaming 'cos hungry?

    Are people honestly so still in the dark ages that they would find this offensive?

    I really don't get why it is showing any lack of respect.
    If a bit of cleavage is a worry to folk, you will see more from girls with low cut and tight fitting tops out on-the-pull on a Saturday night, than you will a woman feeding a baby.

    fine get your point, do you get mine? not everyone lives life the same as far as views are concerned one must not impose brutually their way of life onto no other, like an old saying "what is joke to you is death to me" i find that i am quite reasonable with most ways of life , grew up with rastas and hindus, as for me being spanish also have my point of view ,but do not shove something down my throat and say vismal tedious things on wwhat is right and take or lump it.

    I understand that you have a different view yes, but I cannot see how this situation is 'imposed brutally".

    A woman was made to walk carrying her baby just because someone was afraid they may catch a glimpse of breast ....... seems it would have been better for those concerned to avert their eyes rather than evict her. No-one was holding anyone's eyes open Clockwork Orange style and forcing them to look - unlikey anything would be seen anyway.

    Plus as I say, if someone is offended by such, then they must be completely incapable of driving down a street on a Friday/Saturday night.

    i agree, still if she said to me she was going to breast feed her baby and i was sitting next to her i would have moved and let her get on with it if there were no seats i would look the other way,

    Maybe we could extend the bus drivers view a little further. The other day I was on one and there was a seriously ugly woman on the bus, who most certainly did not cover up her lardy face. Wish that driver has asked her to leave.
