Love, Manchester

We have another entry for International Standinaqueue Day. Hooray.

I have also received a couple of emails from those wanting to know if they can send in late entries for International Standinaqueue Day, and the answer is of course. And if there is anyone else out there who has a queue but just hasn’t got round to sending it (to standinaqueue@gmail.com), then please do so and be part of this unforgettable day.

Without further ado may I introduce Simon from Love, who shares with us his experience of the telephone queue:

Queuing for me on the National Day seemed very limited – maybe I should have tried harder – but I did have to call Leeds City Council as they’d forgotten to collect our Green recycling bin the previous day.

I was then kept in a queue for more than fifteen minutes. It’s a very lonely life in a telephone queue – you can’t talk to your fellow queue-ers, or even see how near the front
you are. You’re just in a void. Anyway, once I was connected they said they’d come and pick up the bins within 48 hours.

They didn’t.
