I'll take time out from the forelock tugging. Queenie fair enough, but not so keen on rest of them.
No one is queuing for 30 hours at the moment. That’s an estimated wait if the queue reaches 10 miles. It’s just under 3 miles currently and people at the front saying that they have been queuing for 8 to 9 hours.Adamski wrote:I know we love queues but this is a bit mindblowing.

I believe she is off to Windsor Castle to be alongside PhilipMike4 wrote:Swerving off at a tangent, I've neither seen nor heard any mention of what happens to the box during the funeral.

'Twas April when my would-be train was cancelled due to a suicide on the line, and I had to travel a different route. Something over two hours delay, which meant I could claim my money back.WrenChasen wrote:Queues and crowds: best avoided at all times (if possible) in my book, even in historical times such as the present. Everyone's different, of course.
Going off at a tangent for a moment, last April I and thousands of other motorists and their passengers spent over eight hours at a standstill on the M4 near Swindon. Apparently, there was a "jumper" on one of the bridges. Having witnessed some real distress and upsetting scenes that afternoon, I confess the previous compassion I've felt for people so ill they'd consider throwing themselves off a bridge has evaporated somewhat.

Maybe not totally inaccurate, Dod. I suspect the very first people in the queue may have been there for that length of time, before they moved towards Westminster when the lying in state commenced.Dod101 wrote:I think this whole thread is pointless.
