I dont like queuing Ben I am to inpatient sorry.If i see a lot of people standing in a line I am off unless Iam forced to.My wife is the patient one.

It's an observation and an opinion. Not a complaint fella. And I feel it is unnecessary to have queue jumping in any form, unless its for the unfortunate in society. I wanted to gauge other peoples point of view about it.

So I put my view across. Do I put a statement across whenever you make a comment or start a topic. So any time you post I'll resort to putting " Life is b**** and then you die". Deal with it".

No I wouldn't do that, because I hope to give constructive posts from my experiences or informed debate, or agree with you. Not just rubbish debate in the form you've taken.

Have a nice day.

I like you Ben Stu is the type who will start ww3 for the sake of it

If we all had that train of thought none of us would live together just hate and misery.The world is a mess as it is .Keep hating Stu. Peace be with you.

The thing is Ben, it didn't come across that way:

Just because the richer amongst us can "pay" their way to the front shows this to be a discrimatory way

And

The fairest way is to charge the same for everyone and queue up the same as everyone else. Just because a company introduces a financial carrot to help you, doesn't mean it's right. They are only making money out of you and others

It sounded like those people who stand at the bar with a fag in their mouth, 8 pints inside them, spouting off that private medical insurance & education is wrong because "only the rich can afford it".

It is a sad (IMO) symptom of the society we live in that when one person chooses to spend their money differently than others, they are condemned. You get the same comments about aircraft boarding, usually from those who have just spent £300 in the duty free

Saying all of that in relation to how you have come across, I will agree that in delaying additionally those who are already queuing (spelling?) is not right. If the wheel opererators had seperate pods for those willing to pay extra, that would be fair.

AS,

I do not have any gripe about how anyone wishes to spend their money. It's theirs, not mine. I consider companies that instigate this "fast track" procedure at family orientated venues, wrong.

As for your questions:

1. That's not queue jumping. That is paying for a different part of a particular mode of transport.
2. Seperate entities. Anyway you cannot jump the queue to the top of the private medical system. Your insurance company would make sure it's fair.
3. I know many golfers. Didn't know a membership fee entitled you to butt in whenever you felt like. There are stringent club and course rules that would prohibit that sort of behaviour.
4. Still not queue jumping. Just another place to sit in at the airport.
5. Name them. You have missed the point. What I descibed was a purpose "built" process to queue jump ahead of others no matter what the clientele when everyone at these attractions has paid the same large amount to gain access.

Just because you have the money to do it doesn't make it a right. I have the money, yet I think these companies are wrong, morally. Take your argument for example. I've stood in a long winding queue at the P.O. many a time. I don't really enjoy it to tell you the truth.Do I shout that all I need is a minor thing and jump the queue to the front. No. I queue up like everyone else, which doesn't descriminate from whatever background you come from. Rich, poor, young, old, there is no advantage. It is just fair.
