Counterbalanced by cheeky fuckers who drive all the way down the side of a 220 yard queue to duck in at the front…..
Merge in turn, UK drivers still love to queue like they're down the corner shop. https://highwaycode.org.uk/rule-134/
Or even in some fucking pubs now! What the actual is going on there? I was out on a pub crawl last summer with friends when I approached the bar to see what ales were on tap I was kindly asked to join the back of the queue!! If I hadn’t been with others I’d have walked out.
Your experience aside, it boils my piss when I’m waiting to order and some bellend shows up and orders in front of you. I always make sure anyone there before me gets served before me. Partly due to staff not keeping an eye on who’s waiting but mainly the ignorant prick who believes they’re more important than you.
Merging argy-bargy can be avoided with a bit of courtesy. When needing to merge to the left, if you slow right down, put on your indicator and ask to be let in almost every driver will flash you over immediately. If you try and creep, nudge and squeeze your way over they'll shut you out. I know you shouldn't have to pause. Merging traffic is supposed to flow together on the move like two streams of liquid, but in reality culturally ingrained queuing ettiquette causes us Brits to take offence at a shover.
Occasionally this happens but it’s a small price to pay rather than taking a numbered ticket and waiting to be called to the bar to get your drinks. ( I exaggerated about the ticket machine) And I’d outweighed by the amount of times you’ve had to to say ‘I think you’re next’. Human interaction like this not only promotes a positive attitude but also encourages conversation A far nicer place to be than the sterile alternative
Wired up coffee heads who can’t handle the caffeine. Like speaking to the bore who’s had too much *pub dust. Take a deep breath, stfu and let someone else get a word in please.
I’ve a friend like this, controls the conversation as soon as he sits down on the pub, he doesn’t take a breath ! He puts it down to his anxiety brought on by taking too many drugs when he was in a rock band, in a former life.
Haha had a girl in my team from bilbao who was exactly the same. Impossible getting a word in edgeways during morning meetings, by the time the afternoon came it was like speaking to a completely different person. Couple of people on my daily morning dog walks triggered this too.
Makes for a bit of light banter later on the pub how the life threatening attack on Ian Huntley in prison has been brought to the front for the masses baying for blood Who the fuck decides what is and what isn’t relevant news and what order it is drip fed through our media portals. Forty years, we’ll see Maybe not trivial
That’s the millionaire dollar question isn’t it and I’d wager a lot of money it’s not some scruffy oik who’s gone through the comprehensive school system
Over covered on local ITV news with a roving reporter stood next to a graveyard in Soham. Fucking ghouls.
Dunno, you might be on to something here. Order your drink via an app or ticket machine then pick it up from the bar. That would work for me, bonus would be no interaction with some pub bore as there'd be no opportunity to be 'cornered'.
Merge in turn. Maybe a sign saying merge in turn would be useful, it cuts down on congestion if both lanes are used until the lane ends. Makes sense to me! Try it in my BMW and people get angry as a Typical BM driver, do it in my van and it seems to be ok, better on the bike tho, fuck em!
Pay and train the bar staff to do the job properly and not ask ‘who’s next’, you’re the barman/ professional. You don’t get this kind of nonsense in European bars. Gets right on my tits it does.
