legov Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 We are British and we queue. Hmm so the local practice of queuing (over here) seems to be a relic of times past then, didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Try queying for a bus in Birmingham city centre and tell me there is such a thing. I alluded to this in an earlier post. It seems that all order stops at the TWM bustop. Pedestrians queue very politely for buses with a real set of mores, you can queue out of line, people will scan the area, see you leaning against your tree, accept that you were there before them and stop the queue for you to get on the bus at about the point people judge you to have been in the area. Exactly this. I went to Valetta to the massive roundabout where all the buses stop. It was hotter than the sun so I wandered to the trees in a small park not 50m from the bus. It came and the guys in line shouted for me. Amazed to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Never been to Malta, but if they queue then I'll be more than happy to visit. I love a good queue. I'm normally quite an impatient person, but queues are great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I don't do queueing, if I can avoid it. If there's a queue, I go elsewhere, generally. queue = busy/bustling/mass appeal. Things I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 7, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2011 best thing about the British Que system is that if someone jumps it no one does anything other than tut and grumble under their breath I've found a simple "There's a queue here mate!" will suffice. You'll find the queue will be on your side, especially once someone has spoken up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British Quebec system, whatever that is ... :winkold: Que. abbreviation Quebec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 7, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2011 He's talking about when reporters and the like put their arms out and then bring them back in to be clasped before they speak, or to emphasise a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 7, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'm unusualy annoyed by Carlos Cuellar's facebook declaring he's just got up, it's a beautiful day, and he's heading to training" Nothing I'd like more than to be heading out to play football on a day like today!
