Why not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a

musical instrument. The late musician Dennis Brian is said to have

asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his

request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started to practice.

I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his conversation. He realized this and apologised to me. When his phone rang again later, he left his seat to answer it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.

I did read my newspaper out loud on a train, and it turned out well. The guy took it in good part, and we chatted happily all the way to Edinburgh.
