Does Anybody In England Recognise This Thing.....



Don´t worry, you shouldn´t... because your British. You do occasionally see them at meat counters in Sainsburys, but because you´re British, you just look at it blankly, ingnore it, and queue up sensibly behind everybody else who has ignored the wierd ticket queueing thing whilst making sure not to stand too close to the person infront incase you invade their personal space, after all you expect that from the person behind. We are British. We are polite.

In Argentina THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! They need them. They have to have one in every possible place a queue may eventually form. I took this photo in the doctors this morning (wierd I know, but essential for this entry). If there isn´t a ticket machine thingy caos errupts, they barge, push, shout etc. Queuing without a ticket thing means war.

Sam and I are slowly getting used to it, and accepting it as just another step in the process towards being able to purchase or talk to anybody. See Next Time You Buy Anything In A Shop for further information on this subject.

I love those things, though only ever see them at sainsbury's deli, when I'm the only person who takes one and then I never get served.

Seem to remember causing chaos with them in Clarks Shoes as a kid.

Finally got round to checking your blog. And now I'm kicking myself for not doing it before. I'm almost weeping over the photographic representation of Argentinian steak... if only I could taste it....
