Looks like I'm just a cranky old bugger. Right or wrong I have always regarded the lockers above me to be my space. If you are eating in a restaurant with your family you don't own the table, you are merely occupying the space. How would you feel if someone just plonked his plate down at a spare seat at your table & started eating. A bit peeved I would imagine. Yep, looks like we will just have to agree to disagree. I concede that it's not written in stone to be my locker but never the less it is my space. As for bowing to someone because of their different cultural background, what a load of you know what. We have been doing that for far too long in this country. Having said that, when I am in another country I always adhere to the old "when in Rome" rule. Anyway, this has probably been flogged to death so have a nice day all.
