I did enjoy your tale - thanks for sharing it here.Hi, Constance and thank you. Hope you're having a good day too. Oh, I do, jams! You can browse in the newsagent's but not in a lot of other stores. There's even a bookstore in Modica where you can't - horror of horrors - but fortunately there are others where you can.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-45305651033725636512011-06-21T22:25:48.005+02:002011-06-21T22:25:48.005+02:00I hope you give the queue jumpers your best reproa...I hope you give the queue jumpers your best reproachful stare Welshcakes.

Arriving at our destination after a 3-hour drive to go hiking in Texas with absolutely no rest stops or even a good sized bush along the way, I was in crisis mode (my knees knock together when I think about it). The good people in line at the ladies let me go ahead. What relief. (Would have used the gents but there was a line there too).flutterbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459048589582773801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-58891225794579703522011-06-21T00:30:47.296+02:002011-06-21T00:30:47.296+02:00How your post made me laugh!

As for queuing...standing politely to wait your turn in line is something that Americans inherited from the Brits. We line up for everything and if someone jumps the line, they are usually motioned to by someone and pointed to the end of the line.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688846429279351574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-45719084124331361802011-06-20T22:02:41.458+02:002011-06-20T22:02:41.458+02:00Hi, Nerys.

Yes, in our DNA, Rosaria. I'm pleased that you were interested in those other posts. Hi, Claude. I usually let someone with just a couple of items go first too. What's queue lining? Hi, LindyLouMac. I was wondering about that all night! He must have got sleepy in the sun. Hi, Cherie. Glad I'm not the only one! Hi, Leslie. A friend of mine keeps suggesting that but they seem to think it would cause a revolution or something. Thanks, Pat. I shall comfort myself with your words!Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-12408005559801028842011-06-20T19:45:35.149+02:002011-06-20T19:45:35.149+02:00Brava, Pat!

I would be ashamed. Not only that but, at the grocery store, if I have a cart filled with food, and the person behind me only has a couple of items, I usually offer my place, to shorten his/her wait. Mostly because I'm nervous when people are behind me. I prefer to be the last one on the line, and do the business slowly, with nobody watching, and trying to rush me. I think <i>queue lining</i> is a diabolic invention!Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775039539331403794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-60000218952731346222011-06-20T17:52:47.607+02:002011-06-20T17:52:47.607+02:00Some habits are in our DNA.
