Rather than taking their place, try the English language, it's a handy tool - and free !!


Examples:

1. "Excuse me, you may want to shuffle up a bit as the queue's finally moving !"

2. "Oy, lame-ass, get off Snapchat and move yourself forward. Now !"

3. "Let's get moving bro, the pancetta is running low and I won't compromise on my carbonara for tonight's dinner.."

4. "My dry cough is playing-up, *cough* *cough* *hack*, ooh look the queue's suddenly moving quickly (in both ways, away from me)".


See what fun you can have ?

Just pass the bag to the back- you can't 'save your place'....was he German? (towels on sun loungers in Spain at 5am)

Lucky you tomskip - hasn't been my experience in & around the area lately - today a 30ish female with the appearance & manners of a hag tried to bully her way into a queue outside Lloyds Pharmacy, wheezing and coughing both in the direction of us at the front of the queue and staff at the entrance and was still trying it on when I left. The staff there are fantastic so I really felt for them.


Not 5 mins after an alcohol abusing couple "all the way from the Old Kent Road" began abusing staff when told what they wanted wasn't in stock and had been generally unpleasant in the queue beforenand.


On Saturday, after waiting an hour to get in via a pretty well behaved queue, bar the ADD addled morons holding everyone up staring into their mindless socials, I can't even describe the beast as female, yet alone human drove up right outside the entrance at Sainsburys, walked with nary a grimace to the back of her brand new Mercedes, pulled out a crutch, then after a few steps miraculously developed a comical limp & tried to jump the queue. On being shown the sign for people with disabilities, the scumbag, after some arguing about "her rights" made a swift turn and marched back to her car, not skipping a beat.


A few days before outside Iceland in Peckham, there must've been 40+ people outside, had one lady in front of me when a scrawny piece of shite ran across the road and tried to push in front of me. Despite being called out by me, this stinking pile of excrement refused not only to observe any form of social distancing, but also to go to the back of the queue. Even tried the race card to the obviously exhausted security guard who eventually told him to get to the back of the queue.


The lines outside both Moxons and William Rose, neither of which I patronise were both long and full of people less than an arms distance apart, and with the all too familiar sight of people coughing into their hands with nary a surgical glove or mask in sight - utter madness. Hate to think my health is being compromised by such people in Goose Green, and patience being very sorely tested.

5. Alternatively say "if you don't move you cad I will start a thread on a community forum". That will show them.

If somebody upsets me in a queue I give them my best Paddington bear stare. That normally does the trick.


But as for queues SE22, oh my word you've been seriously outdone by one of the places you'd love to live in, Greenwich. On my cycle today, socially distancing myself as ever, I saw a mass of people on the river path. I thought quick, join the Greenwich Forum and start a thread 'hasn't anyone in Greenwich heard of the virus?'. But lo and behold, it was a ginormous queue for Waitrose. It was even longer than the queues, put together, for the Cheese Block and William Rose at Christmas. I think that the Museum of London may even do an exhibition based on this, similar to the fatberg. It reminded me of the 1979 Conservative poster campaign.

Interestingly enough you will also see that Tony Blair was case number one.

I buy an essential item then add my supplementary items. Don't loiter outside either (although if these guys couldn't come up with a valid reason for being outside a shop I wonder what sort of imagination they have)

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
