The British are famous for their queueing

If this doesn't happen in other countries, what do they do instead? All just pile in front of each other at shop tills and post offices?

Of course we wait in line, just not in all places and sometimes differently. So if I had to go to a British place I'd find out how it is done and try to do it the expected way. And I assume if you'd go to a non-British place you'd find out how it is done there and do it their way, wouldn't you?

Do you have a problem with my op? How do I find out, without asking? This was intended as a light hearted, chatty thread.

Thank you Barbara and others :)
And I did used to travel to Central London fairly regularly. Good point about the tube, no queues there. However I did once get a bus and I think I queued to get on that. Only time though!

Even in the U.K. we have different rules for different situations. Like most places we would form a neat queue, but at a bar we just jostle. Apart from for some reason at Haven holiday camp where I was roundly scolded for my rude queue jumping ways, because there apparently they really do form a neat queue for the bar, and don’t have the normal cluster approach.

Yes it's a good point, which isn't clear until you think about it.

You queue up for the bar in a lot of social clubs too @SnowyBranches - the ones where you can still buy a martini and lemonade, and where it doesn't cost you half your wages to enjoy an evening out

I know what you mean, OP.
Other nationalities comment on our queuing like it’s something they don’t do.

In Tunisia I was going on a coach outing. I emerged from the peace of a hotel to a few coaches and swarms of screeching , wavy handed French people. Somewhere in the middle of that was my tiny Tunisian guide. I had no hope of asking if this or that was my coach so had to go without the tour. Another (English) Lady complained they nearly had her baby out of her arms!
