The only advantage of expensive First Class accommodation is that you get a table. Unless you get into the FC section behind the driver, or at the rear, there is a perpetual stream of passengers pushing through in both directions. FC is the preferred accommodation of salesmen, who continue their trading (loudly) on their mobiles.

Do you think I have become a grumpy old man?

However, I become much more cheerful when reading Threads on this Forum.

Cheers to you all.
Don't worry about being a grumpy old man,there are plenty of us on here already
