THE DEATH OF THE BRITISH " QUEUE "

Postby miltiades » Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:15 am

As a 15 year old, many moons ago, arriving in London, I soon learned that the English queued in an orderly fashion, be it at a cinema, a bus stop or anywhere whilst waiting for your turn. George was older than I and came from my village, had been in the UK for a year and half and was my "chaperon" in my early days in London. "Don't talk loud in Greek" he would say to me, "its rude, the English don't like it" " Stand in the queue" he would command.

That was nearly 53 years ago , I learned a lot from George, a dear friend who unfortunately has passed away.

I have not used the bus for a very long time now until that is a few days ago when my son " borrowed" my car as his was being repaired . I don't live that far from my work but started using the bus to get to work.

As I arrived at the bus stop, I could not help noticing that there was no queue, everyone waited in a disorderly fashion, jumping on the bus completely disregarding the traditional and ex- British fashion of forming a queue.

The buses are pretty full up at 7 am in the morning and 6pm in the evening, but everyone just rushes to get a foot on the bus without the slightest consideration of those waiting.

Needless to say 99% are foreigners, some spitting in the street oblivious of the disgusting habit.

Its time for me to make an exit from the fast becoming third world nation !!!

They are not foreigners, they are "British".

This is what Britain has become.

You can get killed just for looking at someone in some places in Britain.

Luckily for me, I have never been been killed by anyone :lol: , attacked a couple of times, not bad for a period stretching some 53 years. Only burgled twice at home and twice at work, statistically acceptable.

What I find unacceptable is the continued trend of turning the nation into a third world country, cultures that we are told we must respect, cultures that I find nauseating to say the least.

21... The map is not correct.Britain was at war with Sweden and had military forces occupying one place in Sweden in the period 1819-1812. The only deaths in the conflict involved a group of Swedish farmers killed by Swedish forces while protesting about conscription.

OK,

But I think this more or less explains why there are so many different races and cultures in Britain today.

20. ... although never invaded (unless we include the fall of Rome in '44), scrub the Vatican City from the list, given the war against Papacy...!!!
