Escalators and the imaginary line divide!

Stand to the right, allowing people to walk up/down on the left.

If you don't want to hear tuts and sighs try not to spill over the imaginary line to the left!!!

Public etiquette

Yes, we love our queues! Nice & orderly, straight in line.... and may hail and brimstone fall upon he who cannot wait... patiently!!!

The simple fact is queues work. Make noe mistake - queues are taken very seriously and people that shove and push-in and jump their place will be frowned upon and considered rude and of bad manners... the chances are somebody will voice their opinions of you should you ocmmit this faux pas!

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
