no one cares if you seat jump, as long as the seat is free. Yes, the people behind might be a bit annoyed as they've lost an unexpected clear view, but it wasn't their seat either (I do see people booking two seats on night buses so they can sleep!)

not with someone using their phone at the theatre (which isn't a crime). Should be, and so should the apparently Mary Poppins' gladstone bag-sized pack of crisps the person behind me at Sweeney Todd was eating yesterday.

If you moved seats without asking permission, and a big chunk of plaster, or a cherub or something fell off the ceiling and hit you on your head, would you be entitled to compo?

would you be entitled to compo? Even if you regard sitting in a seat as theft (and i do feel like I've drifted into the 18thc here rather) burglars have successfully sued for being injured by falling etc during burglaries, so yes.

In this crazy world, probably yes. In a sensible world, no you shouldn't. If you sat in front of me when you shouldn't have, you absolutely shouldn't.

Yes you would be entitled to ‘compo’ as the operator has to provide a facility that meets the health and safety criteria. Failng that you could sue the cherub!

I am so looking forward to holiday season when people will be telling all their stories of how they spotted a premium economy or first class seat on their plane/train/boat and decided to take it as no one was using it.
And before all the cries of 'but that's different'. No, actually it isn't.

Yes it is. You don't go on a plane for the lovely experience of being on a plane. You go on it to get somewhere. And you can get a free upgrade to first class: "It depends how you're dressed" says Mum.

Book a cheap seat for a show that hasn’t sold by checking the seating plan on-line as late as poss before the performance.Then move to a v expensive empty seat by noting the rows/no’s of seats that haven’t sold on-line just a few mins before the show starts.....would be a totally inappropriate behaviour trait and never to be recommended.
