Did they have a good reason?

Yet as we get het up about Holly n’ Phil allegedly not queuing, as the ‘be kind’ rhetoric becomes yet another faded relic of a soundbite we preach but do not practice. There are acceptable forms of queue jumping that mainly those with high disposable incomes use frequently but not a word is uttered in protest.
If you order off Amazon, there can be a wait for products to arrive, yet its acceptable to pay for ‘Prime’ and receive the ‘must have’ product within 24 hours. Even if you’re ill, we then look toward waiting around for a face-to-face appointment, or death, whichever may come first, before plumping for private healthcare, in order to jump the queue. On the airlines the same situation plays out with ‘priority boarding’ , as you yet again pay for your entitlement, and on it goes.
And then of course we had the mother of all queues, as those with legitimate reasons queued to pass the Queen's coffin for 30 seconds. Waiting in line for up to 24 hours, they trudged wearily, yet merrily, for over five miles, forging new friendships and uniting in a common cause, yet woe betide anyone who dared contemplate not putting in the time.
