GP opens at 8.
Called at 8.
After several "press 1 for... press 2 for..." options. Guess my position in the queue.
Clue: It's moved 2 places in 8 minutes.

I keep getting told the queue is full and they hang up on me, so I’m envious you have a queue!

They should have an app

Hmm if it’s merged to make a new mega practice then probably longer queue.

my gp is just for my small town and I’m usually about 20 or 30 in the queue so I’m guessing 111

Doesn’t your GP have the online requests set up? It’s loads easier to fill that out at 8am and wait for them to come back to you. I thought everywhere had to offer this now.

Nope.
They have merged with a few other practices (which I didnt even realise) so maybe they will set it up?

And instead of turning the call music volume down... I just hung up.
Super.
