This meant just glide straight to the most convenient little gap of the general melee by the lift and work your way in, not aggressively, but just unashamedly, no concessions to kids or anyone else. We all mastered the art pretty quickly and no one ever seemed to mind. I tried it again this year, but unfortunately everyone else in the line was British and I got a right mouthful from all sides ! I tried explaining that it was the "European way" and that everyone should do it, but I don't think I convinced anyone ! I ended up buying drinks in the bar afterwards by way of apology ! But I still prefer the "European way".
Brits in"N" thats a shock :lol:
