I'd wonder what they'd been doing for the other 1h 30m or how silly to cut it so fine or why park illegally?

The very same people that expect planes to wait for them?

I would agree with that and everybody is entitled to have their own opinion, but must accept that others will challenge it if they disagree.
That is what discussion is all about.

I would also remind people of the reaction to one of Boozercruiser’s threads where a shop assistant had been rude to him. The majority of posters had a go at Boozer and stuck up for the shop assistant!

But if there isn't a section which caters for their needs, they are going to get picked on by people who are impatient at being held up by them. Ok that isn't right, but sadly that is what happens.

Yes, I know that! Twink. I was just confused at the remarks that there were lots of pages and they needed popcorn!
It has been a discussion, not WW3!

It was in no way whatever mischievous or intending (that bit about intent is important here) to be harmless.

Some people just like to read what is being said. If they don't like it nobody will stop them moving to another thread....unless it gets nasty and is removed!

But as Tpin pointed out Art...why would people choose to cut it so fine as to shop in the last minutes before a ticket ran out. I NEVER manage to shop without queuing where I am so I certainly wouldn't risk it.
