But what you say is correct: queueing is one of those civilising
feratures of British life we ought not to surrender lightly.

Where it provides a service improvement, yes. I personally dislike
the use of multiple queues in banks, post offices etc - and very much
approve of the new electronic systems which are much fairer. I also
dislike McD's intentional use of multiple queues as an
anti-British-culture thing.

I bet large supermarkets (with 30 checkouts or whatever) drive you nuts
then. Are Sainsbury's being anti-British by having a separate queue for each
heavy-duty checkout? Hmmm.
