10 Things Americans Think Brits Do

9. Like To Queue

OK, lets get this one straight. Queues are necessary. They are vital. They create order and civility in scenarios which need them. If there are twenty people all wanting to use a cash point (or €œDollar Hole€ in the US), and there is no system in place to order who was next in line, then we may as well move into caves and start throwing fecal matter at each other. America, when we need to queue, we queue. When there is no other way to attain social and democratic order than to stand behind each other in a single file, we queue. When everyone has hugely underestimated the nationwide need to attend to urgent business at the post office at precisely 11:55AM on a Saturday morning, then by Jingo we roll our sleeves up and get queuing. It doesn€™t mean we LIKE it.
