Queue Watch: Dedicated BBC Queue Tracking discussion and analysis - HRH Her Majesty the Queen (Dec'd)

It has long been a complaint of the editor that this forum lacks good quality content: No more..

After hovering around 2.3 to 2.4 miles last night - the queue has now extended to 3.5 miles as at 11:00

Is this London's longest ever queue ever?

 

[Hollis]

Interesting... What this means is that last night the end of the queue was at London Bridge... Now closer to Tower Bridge.

 

[danny la rouge]

Can we drive past with something that emits gamma rays and sterilise the fucking lot of them? I think that would solve a lot.

Joking. Not joking.

 

[Hollis]

It's all kicking off.. 3.6 miles as at 11:19. Now extending beyond Tower Bridge!!!

Britain’s longest-ever queue, surely?

They’ll be at Greenwich by midnight, mark my words.

[Hollis]

Depends how you define queue?
In 2003, I joined hundreds of thousands of others and queued for hours to get from somewhere near Blackfriars Bridge to Hyde Park.
The whole road was taken up, none of this thin little line on the pavement.

Last time i saw a line this big it was at Badgers house....

I think people just like big communal events. It's like the olympics.

I've seen estimates of 750,000 who will file past the corpse. Those came from royalist types, so my guess is that it will be a little less. But it will probably be around 1 per cent of the UK population. Maybe better to remember that 99 per cent of us didn't do it.

Exactly. That depressed me too.

You would never get dogs to line up in an orderly queue for three mikes unless someone hypnotised them. So it would be quite unlike to happen. But not quite impossible…

There's also the nebulous idea of 'being part of history'.

And more people attended that London shuffle than will attend this one.

For some context, I have persistent bodily pain every day, and sometimes my OKness with that is at a low ebb.

Today I’m having a grumpy patch, and I’m unskilfully finding an outlet for my grumpiness with a group of people who are filing very slowly past a box. I’m projecting all sorts of motivations, making up stories about what’s going on with them. But really the problem is me. I know that. I don’t really want them sterilised. Or medicated. It’s my medication that’s not effective. I’ll meditate later. Maybe that’ll help.

Don't apologise for your grumping. Grump away.

It is utterly mystifying to me, and yes depressing if I dwell on it.

At this point people are joining just to be part of a massive queue. I'm tempted myself.

BREAKING NEWS: AND IT'S SENSATIONAL!

 

[editor]

We've hit the big FOUR MILE total now. Go Queen's mourners. We can make this five!

Yeah people should extend it to Southwark park and then make a smiley face out of it, Queuey McQueue Face or something.

Statistically, it's quite likely that someone may die in that queue. If that does happen, maybe they could just drop them off in the Abbey next to the Queen?
