Actually, from my experience, it's the little old English ladies and gents who ALWAYS jump the queue AND they ALWAYS take like 50 things to the '10 items or less' check out! On a busy train/bus it's usually 'immigrants' who are the first to get up when someone elderly/disabled/pregnant needs a seat. I do agree that immigrants should adjust themselves to their new country, but it's not like good manners are something you see much of these days in Britain.

I think its maybe because they say that the britts are the only ones that queue, i was in italy trying to order a beer but my friend kept saying lager which they didnt understand, instead of the queue forming behind him it was total chaos with us gettin shoved everywhere, in the end we kicked off and everyone shut up....i ended up having to walk behind the counter and getting the bottles for the girl!

1. Only uneducated people do that, irrespective of being immigrant or native.
2. I also have a feeling the person asking this is not "native", they probably are descendants of someone who was an immigrant a few generations ago. The "real natives"' who have been driven to "reserves"' do not complain like this.
3. The current immigrants will soon learn to complain like this too.

well it depends on where they originate form in some cultures they just jump in front and dont have a queueing system but it is up to you to be polite and tell them in your country we do it this way. if you get negative answer back just turn the other cheek mate cus they are probably ignorant.

If you all shout " Oi, Que like the rest of us" and complain very loudly to the person serving that there is a que,
That works.

They are yet to pick up the good local culture. Give them a chance to learn so that they are civilized more by having migrated to your place.
