William Rose - Queue Dating

[*Bob*]

Me: Bugaboo, no chin, thin-framed designer spectacles, dropping my consonants in an attempt to converse with the butcher.

You: 180 feet back in the queue, coarse hessian bag, fiddling on a Blackberry, bored expression.

Same time, same place - next year?

[????]

You'll still be in the same place next year looking at the length of that queue at 8.15 this morning.

Me: passing on way to bus stop, Chic 'credit crunch' look shabby coat and washed out scarf, East London sweatshirt, playing Breakout on Blackberry

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Me and ten year old daughter walking past, "Why are all those people queing so far down the road, Mummy?"

"Because they are scared they'll be doing Christmas from LIDL next year, hun."

[CamberwellOz]

Me, just moved to Tonbridge and didn't have to wait when walking into the organic butchers today. Bwahahahahahahahaha.

[Keef]

Me, going to my sister's place for dinner and letting her worry about it!

[mockney piers]

Me got mum in the sticks to order goose. She's bringing it down tomorrow. Mwahah...etc

[Cassius]

Me not eating meat so not caring hahaha

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Me got my meat ordered and delivered from William Rose Butcher on friday...excellent!

[buggie]

... me working christmas so will get home (hopefully before 10pm) and have the dinner that future mother-in-law'll have saved for me!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Me in the queue for 40 minutes talking to some really nice people behind me. Thought about the coffee and soup that the girls form luca were offering but got on with it. Lots of good cheer from everyone around me and a christmas feel at large.

So all good from my point of view. But the queue as a phenomenon is interesting. Supply not meeting demand. Hell the queuet at sparkes was bad as well. Lidl is well and good cwald but ill take the taste test any day. And besides are there really no queues there today ?

Would you believe - It was Louisa.

All that guff about poncey local produce and all the time she's more than happy to spend two hours queueing for half a pound of organic chiplolatas.
