England is still the best country in the world for queue worshippers. Many tourists include standing in queues in their itinerary and some British émigrés have been known to renounce their adopted countries just to return to the homeliness of standing in lines. Mind you, it’s nothing like the great days of the war years when rationing filled every High Street with stretches of people. There was a real spirit about it then. People were even known to line up outside shops that had nothing anyone really wanted. Buses do keep up the tradition, ganging up so as to leave the longest possible time between each red cluster.
Personally, I hate queues, especially those in banks. In America, everyone entering a bank goes to the end of a single line. Then, as each clerk’s window is cleared, the next person has his proper turn. In this country, each window has its own queue, and you can bet that the innocent-looking person I pick to stand behind has a bag hidden about him somewhere, with £5’s worth of coppers that will all have to be painstakingly counted.
