  • Look around for openings at the bar where you can stand to order. It’s customary to queue up behind the people already waiting, even if there are small gaps between groups. Don’t try to squeeze into a small space or reach around people to get the barstaff’s attention but do fill the full space of the bar where it isn’t awkward to do so.

    People are served in the order they arrived at the bar. The barstaff keep track of who has been waiting the longest. It’s polite to allow people who arrived before you to order first, even if you end up at the front of the bar. If the barstaff try to take your order before someone who arrived first, just gesture to that person and say something like “I think they were next”.

    If it is busy once you have your drink step away from the bar so the next person can take your place. Cheers!






  • I find myself largely in agreement with him.

    It seems you can now categorise environmentalists into two distinct groups:

    Group 1 prioritizes preservation over progress, insisting on halting all developmental projects to protect every speck of biodiversity. This includes everything from rare newt species to broader environmental concerns, which are used as reasons to oppose various forms of green energy initiatives such as battery factories, solar installations, wind and tidal turbines. The ironic consequence of this approach is that despite protecting individual species in the short term, long-term survival becomes more precarious as global warming accelerates unchecked.

    Group 2, which I personally identify with, holds a more pragmatic view. This group acknowledges the inevitable environmental impact of green technologies, such as harm to individual species and certain ecosystem disturbances. Yet, they firmly believe that without expediting the implementation of green technology, we risk compromising the planet’s overall sustainability.

    While I understand and appreciate the intent behind the preservationist approach, I feel frustrated. In my view, their well-meaning actions might inadvertently exacerbate the very environmental crises we’re striving to mitigate.
