Another from today's Sunday Times:

Chinese rail travellers are wearing adult nappies because holiday trains this Chineses new year weekend are so crowded, reports the China Daily newspaper. There's not even standing room left in the corridors as 120 million nigrant workers head home for this week's celebrations, so it's almost impossible to get to the lavatory. 'During the peak travel period last year, some passengers even became deranged on their joirneys because of the conditions and jumped out of the carriages', says the paper. Now supermarkets are reporting a 50% increase in nappy sales.
