Reacting to the video, one of the users, stated "learning how to que must be a pre requisite for british nationality (sic)." "Ah so THIS is the cultural enrichment they allude to. Before we had it we'd queue and embark in turn, I guess that's all changed (sic)," wrote another. "What happened to the British tradition of queuing in an orderly manner? This scrum reminds of boarding a PSV in Africa (sic)," asked another. "How things have changed. What ever happened to forming an orderly queue? First come, first served, (sic)," questioned a user.
