ive yet to see a sign in tesco ques saying merge in turn, if you were trying to use this as an example its not a good one to use.Off course there are not any signs in TESCO’s, but example is very good: you got many lanes, queues on them, some longer, some shorter and then you all leaving through the same doors.
the point im making is about people not merging in turn, so i cannot see how the supermarket example works■■? its not about using all lanes that are open its about not merging in turn.
Ok, so let say gas station.
You got plenty of pumps, but only one cashier. Do you always try to queue for the pump with the biggest number cars waiting for it and block the other pumps? Or you rather go to where is no-one or one car only? By doing that you may be able to pay before some from the longest queue will even start to fuel their cars!

does it say MERGE IN TURN? if not you take the shortest que. im begining to lose the will to live with this. although your english is far better than my polish i think you are missing my point. no signs take which ever lane/que you wish. if the sign says IN TURN it means in turn.

Yes it says. But it usually says “USE BOTH LANES” then “MERGE IN TURN 400yds” then MERGE IN TURN 200 yds" then “MERGE IN TURN NOW”.
And I am opting for using BOTH LANES until you’ll reach sign “MERGE IN TURN NOW” and merge in turn there. If someone wants to do that earlier - that his right, but why force me to merge in turn earlier by blocking the lane, if I can legally go to the end of it?

‘…does it say MERGE IN TURN? If not … take the shortest que…’
Sounds about right - or ‘Zip Merge Now’ with a suitable pictogram for the foreign or illiterate, which is ■■■■-simple and seen to work overseas.
Still need more evidence that the UK is dismally lead? Nothing under the flag of Europe is capable of running a bath - compare any EU state with the independent’s, eg, Norway or Switzerland.
This all reminds me why I have no interest in getting back behind the wheel of a truck even if I was fit enough.
Truck drivers are all gone now, all that is left in most cases are drivers that are employed to move lorries.
There’s a big difference and on the whole most will never know what the difference is.
Shame

Yeah …during the war; polio; whooping-cough; kids up chimleys; rickets; nit-nurses; bubonic plague; canals; feeding the 'orse, etc - they were the Golden Days, eh…

eah …during the war; polio; whooping-cough; kids up chimleys; rickets; nit-nurses; bubonic plague; canals; feeding the 'orse, etc - they were the Golden Days, eh…
Thanks for bringing back all those happy memories of my childhood Keith. Except for the memory of falling in that canal when I was pulling that coal barge. I think it must have been all that climbing up “chimleys” and that sort of stuff, that made me as fit as zb, so that at 75 I still am fit enough to pass my HGV Medical, and renew my C+E .( which I have just for the craic). Must go, me edd,s itchin.

Yikes, I forgot about the sensual allure of leprosy, sorry Buyckers - though I suppose a good head scratch would help to monitor all seven mirrors that todays wheel-herbert has to keep his peepers on when deciding which lane to filter from (‘…we were lucky to av a bit o’ polished tin int olden days…’ I suppose?)
Was stuck in a great example of this the other day. slip road onto the motorway from a roundabout with traffic lights is 2 lanes till the top. everyone gets into the right hand lane early, so the queue stretches onto the roundabout and blocks the lights. there is an empty lane all the way up but no1 is using it. if they did then the roundabout and traffic lights would be clear, and when i go to the end there is still an idiot trying to drive on the bumper of the car in front and blasting the horn when i follow the lane through. if there is a tailback pof 2 miles but 1 lane is empty then said tailback would only b 1 mile with both lanes. the only thing that slows people down is driving too close to stop some1 getting in. if every1 left space then there would b no hold up !!!
