It was one of those rare sunny Sundays. So yes, we knew to expect queues as we headed to one of the UK's most popular theme parks. But there really were queues upon queues upon queues as I headed with my two young kids to the vast Legoland Resort in Windsor for a weekend birthday treat.
Many rides had a wait time of over 80 minutes when we got there, so when we found one with a relatively short 40 minute wait we decided to take the plunge and start our day of queuing there. But what was about to unfold left me stunned.

Especially for those with younger kids , you just know there's going to be occasions when mums/dads/carers will have to leave the queue for an unplanned toilet break with their little 'un. In my experience it's kind of a given that people in the queue respectfully allow them to jostle back through to return with said kid to wherever the rest of their family are stood. When it's adults? Well, to be fair, if someone says to me "I'm just heading back to meet my friends" I always let them through as well and also give the benefit of the doubt that they must have needed a toilet break too.
So it's fair to say my jaw did an actual drop when this very situation arose, in the very queue I was in. Two adults politely made their way through.
