That's possibly a fault with my summary of the letter.
The complaint was that the person didn't want the table used by 4 indivdual people with laptops, because they wanted to use it so their family could all sit together.

That's simple enough to solve, they can just book first class tickets and then choose which seats they want.

Don't tell me.
I'm not the one doing the complaining. I'm the cunt that makes one of the mum and two kids move if they have tried to sit in such a way as to protects the window seat that they are not using.

And then demands they keep the space on the table in front of me clear for my laptop...

Ah, understood.
In that case, what an idiot. How dare people try and help the economy and work whilst on the move.

Living up to the stereotype
I was on a train recently when a screaming harpy with three kids in tow came screaming into the quiet coach and ranted at a couple of people sitting in booked seats at a table that they should move because she needed the table for he family. Eventually the rightful occupants left, just for some peace and quiet.

The brats looked like fairly typical Connors, Jadens, Kadie-Lees, Shannons, that sort of thing. I don't know for sure, but I do know that the mother was indubitably, unmistakeably, and quite unsurprisingly, a Scouser.

I wonder how many of us would have stood our ground?

I have, but in a moment of cowardice backed it up
by way of a hearty throat gargling cough that could easily be mistaken for the beginnings of an infectious disease. They sought sanctuary elsewhere.

Me/
I have and I do. I'm pretty stubborn about Public Transport. I will make you leave if you are in my seat, move your bags if they are on my table and basically act like the self righteous arsehole that I sometimes let show here too.
