I learned the hard way how devastating it is when someone breaks the sanctity of the queue. I was stood politely, the next in line for the self-service till at the supermarket, and an older woman blithely walks to the till I was about to make use of. I tutted to no avail, I took a breath sharply, audibly and I even cleared my throat with a muttered grumble. No response, no acknowledgement, no shame. I was so distressed I nearly fainted like an upper class Victorian lady. Years later and I'm still incensed at the very thought of it.

As a former UK plumber. I can confirm that most houses these days are plumbed up in modern ways so mixers would be compatible. It is also because, for some strange reason. When you ask what type of tapes do you want on your bathroom sink. The sane people will ask for mixers all around. But the traditionalists will say they want Hot and Cold on the basins because it just looks right. Some people here are just stubborn and want the stink that you want a mixer on the most. To have 2 taps on the British way. Maybe it's seeing 1 tap in the middle reminds them of foreign bathrooms or public toilets. I could never get my head around it. 🤷

Brit (as they walk by someone they know in the street): Hi, how are you? Other Brit: Fine / not bad. How are you? Brit: Yeah, good. End of convo... The speed of this interaction is dependant on walking speed but generally lasts about 5 seconds. I have a friend who is Danish, who thinks this is so disingenuous because we aren't actually interested in how the other person is, otherwise we would stop and talk to them.

Lorelei, the Brain Blaze hierarchy is incorrect. You reign supreme over all other editors.

In NZ we are a similiar tradition when someone drops a glass in a bar. Instead of cheering, we instead yell "TAXI", as that person is so drunk someone needs to order them a taxi.

Here where I am (Adelaide, SA) if someone drops/breaks a glass everyone calls out "TAXI !!". It's never been explained, but I'm assuming it means they've probably had enough and should go home.

"That's efficiency, baby!" *Makes a 15 min video exceed 30 mins after the many tangents* Eh... I'll allow it. 😂

But I don't know if there are actual rules for queueing here in Norway. We have mixed taps. We still have hot water boilers and we should not drink the hot water, but it's fine to drink the cold water. Norwegian tap water is so good, we export it in Voss bottles. I lived in Florida for a year to work at Epcot, and I had to double filter the tap water to remove the chlorine smell. I pity Floridians.

Yep, my Britishness was shining proudly with this episode, but one thing was missing : the punishable-by-death crime of accidentally making eye contact with a stranger in public.

Cheering when someone drops something is definitely a thing in the US, if a waiter drops a tray in a restaurant there will definitely be a round of applause from the patrons and usually a sarcastic “hey, I think you dropped something” from someone nearby. And in the midwestern United States the “right” preceding something is “welp” as in “welp, I should be heading out” as you slap your knees and stand up.

This has got to be one of my most favourite Whistlerverse videos!

I'm from the UK, i understand the laws of queuing. However once on holiday there was a queue of people waiting for the lift to get to up their hotel rooms (myself included) and I noticed the stairs leading up the next floor where the lift also stopped, so just press the call down button hop in and boom front of the queue. Family be damned

Have you heard about the robot in South Korea that killed itself? Could be good for an episode.

I believe Simon's next channel should be a travelogue in which he describes all the trips he casually mentions.

House I grew up in, you can’t drink from hot. One word that makes British kids with siblings cry, hot water tank.

As a Kiwi, we have pretty similar views on queue jumping here, but when I lived in Hong Kong I learned how to both not be polite about it AND let it go. A well aimed look down and up with an uttered "rude" works better than tutting, but then you let it go. I have asked people before if they are confused about where the end of the line is (high level passive aggressive!) 10/10 highly recommend 😂 "Taxi", "ya can't park there mate", "right then, I'd better be off" and "how're ya doing" with the expected response of "not bad, and yourself" "that's good" 😂😂😂😂

LORELEI IS THE BEST EDITOR! All hail the tangent timer and perfectly placed clips!

As a German, I approve of the British way of queuing !

One of my favorite lines from the movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is "I'm British. I know how to queue."

The hot/cold thing makes sense if you have an old style conventional boiler. The hot water is not fresh and comes from a tank in the loft that never gets cleaned, you don't want to get that into the food chain. Hence the other British thing of running the tap to make sure your water is fresh and clean.

Not British, just Welsh, but the shame for queue jumping is no match for the shame generated by not thanking the bus driver when you got off at your stop

In Australia we yell "taxi" when a glass is smashed at a pub.

Brit here.Queuing for Sagrada Família in Barcelona one very warm sunny morning. A nice German chap made what can only be described as the life changing mistake of attempt to join a very long que in front of my wife. I should say my wife spends a lot of time travelling around the world with work and is not a fan of just tutting. She started with polite “I’m sorry, but…” to no avail, but it’s okay it quickly moved on to full public humiliation, an apology from him, as he made his way to the back and some very nice “thank you”’s from those near us. Do not try to que jump in front of a Brit, especially one who has no problem calling you out for it. I still feel for that man, he may have been crying as he left.

The first day of primary school in my home town located in the heart of Illinois, someone dropped their tray and the whole cafeteria began letting out a collective, "Ooooooooohhhhhhhh!" as if someone was being called to the Principal's office followed by a chuckle. Having not experienced this before I was a little late on the oohhh and did not begin until everyone else had stopped. As my lone voice rang out I was given looks by my nearby compatriots telling me I was taking things too far.

Looks like the Tangent timer got quite some mileage, I hope Lorelei stored it somewhere cold, must be overheating 😂

There's a few things about being in a British que that is up to the person at the end. You have every right to allow someone to go In front of yourself if you choose. If you are the last in line and the person in front of you needs to pop to an isle for a minute to get something they forgot then you can 'hold their place in line' so they can get the item without loosing their place. If they say "I'll be back in a minute" you have every right to look at your watch. You can and it's polite to do so, let the elderly in front of you if they don't have a trolley full of shopping. If they do then you go as quickly as possible and offer to assist them. Qing for a bus. British bus stops usually have some for of shelter to keep the 476 types of rain off people. This is a place the accidental qué jumping happens because of the many ways of entering and exiting the shelter. It is also a place where the elderly should be allowed to alight the bus first. The cheese / meat / fish counter in a shop. Double check to see if there is a ticket dispenser, if there is take one until it is your turn. If there isn't one take note of who was there before you and wait your turn. If there's two of you that don't know who's next then offer the turn to the other person, it's just good manners. There's so much more to the rules, there's so many ways to spell it, but it's not to be taken as a joke as many a fight has happened in drinking establishments over pushing in front. 🤔

“E-moo”. Kills me every time 😂😂

Apparently singing auld lang syne at midnight on new year is a mostly British thing as well, as I discovered when watching the fireworks in Sydney. Count down ends and fireworks begin as a smattering of British people burst into song much to the confusion of the Australians in the audience. Gradually most of them petered into silence as they realise they the only ones singing 😂

Love the counter!!

50 percent tangent Edit: Cocaine for courage, Simon.

Aussie friend of mine, living in the UK, loves to play "the queuing game" whenever a friend comes to visit her so there's 2 of them. They would go to a random spot & stand one behind each other, as if they are in a queue & wait for others to come & join the queue, wait for the queue to get relatively long & then walk off & go & have a huge laugh at the fact that these people love queuing so much that they would join a queue for nothing lol. Clearly the love of queuing is true!

The cold tap is connected directly to the mains supply. If it's new, it will be filtered too. And because nearly everyone now has a "new" combi-boiler in their house, the "hot tap" is there to only heat the water as and when you need it - The problem with a mix tap is that anything that goes through the boiler, also mixes with the supposedly clean drinking taps - and unless you have proper filters on the taps themselves, this is how you can end up with gall and kidney stones over long periods of time, calcified water in kettles and washing machines, and in America specifically, increased lead supply.... Mix taps in the UK do have separate supplies, and they are mixed from the 2 different sources in the tap itself, which mitigates some of these problems, but the over-abundance of heated differing metals, the copper and aluminium and in a lot of case going through steel at some point too - drinking water from a mixed tap without filtering before or after (a simple brita style filter is fine) is basically a health hazard. Note - cooking with this same water that hasn't either come straight from the mains or been filter doesn't "boil away" the metals and filings that would be present.... That's why we have 2 separate taps, and yes, your mix tap in the UK WILL be fed from 2 different sources, as the boiler you use is also ran from the mains (obviously), when you need work done, or whatever, turning it off from the source with just one maintenance tap makes everything just much easier and blah blah blah - until you've done some plumbing yourself, some of this shit isn't self-explanatory, so I apologise for my long-winded explanation 😅

When you strap something on the back of a pickup in the US you have to say "that's not going anywhere." And in the Midwest US, when you are done with a conversation/hang out, you slap your knee and say "whelp" and if it doesn't work the first time, then 30 minutes later you give a "whelp, I gotta get out of here" and then stand up.

Ok, what did Danny slip into Simon's drink?

I have really come to appreciate cueing in Spain. When you approuch you ask who is last and the group or individual tells you who is last. Next you find a comfortable place to sit or stand in the area and when it is your turn you go. If anyone attempts to go out of order the entire group jumps to the defense of the person who is rightfully next. Because we are willing to verbalize the situation keep the order in their memories it does not require the phisical line and allows the elderly to sit on a bench in the shade or people to stand chatting with friends all with a strict adherence to the order of service.

I grew up on a farm in the US, and the sink we washed at after working outside had separate hot and cold taps. We actually used a basin to mix the hot and cold water for washing. 🙂

So I had to look it up. No, ostriches are not native to Australia. Yes, you can still find ostriches in Australia. They were brought in around 1800 for farming purposes, and I guess for pets, but apparently many were released over the years when the farming or carrying for them got hard. Apparently you can still find some wild ones in southern Australia. The more you know.

I remember, when I was a kid, asking my dad one Father's Day why there was no Children's Day. His response (given in his best "go away, you're bothering me" voice): "Son, EVERY day is Children's Day."

Simon's Chair has things to tell us and the Tangent Timer is racing along, ends at 16:18:20. If you know, you know. Excellent.
