I usually only drink in a couple of local pubs but happened to find myself in a trendy pub in Southgate this weekend, don’t ask.
There was a queue, yes madam that is what I said, queue, to the ramp to order. I have never seen anything like it in my life. I noticed it, walked past it, caught mine hosts eye and was served in no time in the usual way.
Is this the New Jerusalem? Is this what we fought and trounced the Hun for, not once but twice? What does TWTD make of this shocking phenomena? |  |

Never heard of such a thing. |  | | |

It happened to me at the Turf in Oxford earlier in the summer. I spent the whole time in the queue grumbling that it’s not right, you’d never have seen this in my day, blah, blah. Got near the front and there were signs telling people to queue. Bloody signs!
Broken Britain innit. |  |

You the bloke who went mental when he thought I was queue jumping at the Capel petrol station (last game of the season) ?
*I was, but by accident as the pump I was queueing at was diesel only and my motorbike has no reverse gear... [Post edited 23 Sep 8:36]

….before someone else is one of the most important skills passed down from father to son over generations.
Trying to spot who is being served and positioning yourself behind them so that you can slide into their space ahead ahead of the rest is one of the few pleasures left to man.
It should not be lost to modern wokery. |
From the other side, I used to do a bit of bar work when i was a student. Was in a rough working men's club "oop north" and some of the people who came to the bar were right rude tw@ts. So i got to know who the assholes were and would deliberately ignore them and serve everyone else before them. |  |

Queuing at the bar is a symbol of everything that's wrong with British culture. Form an orderly que at the bar! Whatever feck1n next?
Tha bar free for all, where us big lads with the pointiest elbows get served quicker is as English as Yorkshire puddings, sh1te tattoos an fake tan.
You can't just allow culture to be eroded away like that.
I'm happy to never see another feckin camp Morris dancer, but we have to fight to keep the important cultural aspects. Like queuing at the bar, gala pie, 20 Benson rolled up in the sleeve of a T shirt, good strong pickled onions, the option of a drunken pub fight, ready salted Walkers, kebab! etc |  | | |
