How much would you pay to go straight to the front of that line?

I wouldn't queue for 8 hours in -4 degrees temp, unless Melissa Sneekes was waiting for me at the Paris station.

So, people are waiting in -4 degrees temps to get on a train to Paris.

Lol. Fools!!

Do you think it's acceptable to go to the front of the queue and buy someone's place?

Yes. Can't see why not.

How would you feel if you were standing behind people who sold their spot?

Pissed off that I didn't know there were spots ahead of me for sale.

Quote
If you had waited for 8 hours how much would you sell your place in the line for?

If I had waited 8 hours for something there's no way I'd be selling that spot. If I did there's no way that anybody would pay the price because it would be in to 5 figures.

Best way to get to Switzerland (to visit your money) is to fly Swiss Air to Zurich from London City.

 We only had  to wait an hour, them swiss pilots have snow all year round, and know how to land in icy conditions

Yes

How would you feel if you were standing behind people who sold their spot?
Would be happy if they sold it for a lot as i know i have an asset. Would be sad if they sold it for hardly anything because it would mean i had waited 8 hours in a line for a place worth peanuts
 
If you had waited for 8 hours how much would you sell your place in the line for?
£800 seems fair enough, a oner an hour.

You wrote that you were on the GNER - (ECML as it is now) & were using the wifi as the train whizzed through the countryside. Which impressed you muchly.

Peter Beardsley always reminds me on Mondatoo. Or it may be the other way round.

Oh yeah, at my age things that happened about a year ago are pretty hazy.

Forgot all about that episode, ignorant tossers.
