I think the British have a better sense of our place in a queue; he was here before me, she was after me, etc. The bus I get to work passes the university, which seems to mainly cater to forign students, and they very often jump the queue, to the huffy annoyance of English people waiting at the stop. Could be coincidence, but that's my experience of forign people and queues.
I will report back after I go to France. Perhaps I'll purposely find a busy shop to buy something in and take notes on the queuing system.
Grrrr, all these bloody immigrants coming over 'ere, pushing into our queues... *fistshake* I wonder why they do that? I mean, it's not difficult to understand or in any way unfair.
It's not much of a good example of international queue standards, but it makes for a good story: my dad sometimes regails us with stories of the time he was in Nigeria. Upon leaving the country, people weren't allocated seats on the plane at all. So when the time came to board, the passengers literally had to run out over the tarmac to the plane in the hopes of getting a seat. Thankfully my dad was a good runner in his youth, so I'm not sure what one would do if you got there after all the seats were taken.
Aw budlia is fab ^^ Any idea why it's so attractive to butterflies? We used to have one years ago and it was a riot of butterflies (and bees and wasps) every summer. I miss it :(
