It's a British Tradition the queue is.

They have been queing at Magpie for over 30 years.

The guy with the business next door has a point in that people
miss his shop because of the queue.

From a personal point of view while the Magpies ok there are better F/Cs at Hadleys over the bridge and The Royal.

Why does the Magpie not buy up the shops either side and turn
them into a waiting room.
