Yeah, Saudi Airbags we call them. Poor kids. These people have no idea.

Best one I have seen so far was spotted last week in Meadows. School run, sunroof open and two kids heads sticking out of the open roof..... Expected one to start bawling 'Neee' and the other one 'Nawww'....!!!

saying that, when we first got here the missus didn't get paid by cheque, she got some code that yopu take to western union or whatever, give it to them and they pay you cash - so off we went to the one at MoE next to carrefour, big que there so we fear the worse, then the securit guard beckons us over and takes us to a spare counter, we thought the indians and phillipinos must have been queing for something else,

turns out he took us to the front of the que because we were white, and no-ne batted an eyelid,

needless to say we were very uncomfrtable with this. (And yes we got the cash but only because we had handed it over before realising we'd pushed in)

Re: How do you deal with queue jumpers

oh yes, on the other hand (double standards ahoy!) queue-jumping is obviously permitted when the people before you in the queue are obviously far too stupid for their own good.

It happened to me several time at a bus stop in GB that the bus everyone was waiting for pulled up behind another one and wasn't immediately visible, so yours truly took a peek, saw it was the right one and boarded whilst all the sheep were still waiting patiently. Some followed, some didn't.

apologies for 3 posts in a row, btw
