I don’t think I have ever queued for Christmas meaty treats. I just walk into the butcher s few days before Christmas and pick up my order.
Is this a common thing?
This looks like a fucking bread line, is there only one butcher or supermarket in this town?
Role playing as if I’m queuing for bread in the USSR isn’t my cup of tea.
That road sign needs a good scrub.
Should have done the truly British thing and win your meat in a pub meat raffle.
I wish there was a queue for my meat … *Sighs*
If your butcher hasn’t got a queue like this, they will probably go out of business. Same in Wimborne yesterday. 10am start, got there early, queue, so we walked off to see if it thinned. Almost twice as long when we came back, and four times as long when we left…
Is that Flixton Rd??
We order in advance from a local farm shop, pickup is today.
Is this some kind of countryside tradition that us city people don’t understand?
Order from online Scottish butcher. Superb quality.
My butcher was open yesterday. Went to collect our pre-order at half 2, no queue. Bliss.
I get an online butchers shop delivered by DPD so I don’t have to bother with the huge queues.
Wow. Glad we got ours on Saturday!
Sainsbury’s was unusually rammed for opening time on a Monday morning. I’m glad I didn’t have to get any of my ‘Christmas’ food. I only went in there for some salad stuff, some mushrooms and washing machine descaled tablets.
Bro honestly I respect the fact that people queue so much, no one takes the piss and tries to cut in.
I’m in line at your mum’s house
How tall are you?
It’s an excellent butcher
My best mates a butcher so me
Meat gets delivered to my house on Friday afternoons on his way home. I’ve never seen a meat queue before, that’s wild
One of the greatest moments of my life was standing in a queue like this. We all had a little raffle ticket number we’d been given when we ordered.
When I got to the front of the queue the butcher asked “which number are you then” and I said “007”.
I got a cheer from everyone in the shop.
You know how a load of people think pubs should be for regulars only at New Year, to stop them being rammed with part timers who don’t know the culture and etiquette?
I feel the same about my local butcher on Christmas Eve when I’m standing halfway down the street in the drizzle. At least they give out mulled wine.
In and out at the local farm shop. No issues.
I foolishly thought M&S at 6am wouldn’t be busy. There was a queue just to get in. People had apparently been parked up for hours before opening. Lunacy. Never again!
We’re not fancy enough for the real butchers, but I exited Tesco at 7:58 precisely this morning with a turkey crown to feed eight. There are two of us, so that’ll do two nights of roast dinner, two nights of leftovers sandwiches for dinner, and two nights of turkey pie.
I did ours yesterday, the queue was massive and the choice was starting to look a little bit patchy.
Luckily the meat is one thing we do buy a little bit nicer for Christmas. So there was plenty of what I wanted.
After tomorrow, I am giving the shops a wide berth, people turn feral and I just don’t have the patience to be polite to people being so ignorant.
“We will get into town early, before the rush”. The people in the queue probably!
“If we get there early we won’t have to queue like last year”, said every Brit.
I recognise Urmston anywhere!
Always one cunt with a puffer jacket and shorts.
Imagine encountering someone in line who you hit it off with.
A meat queue meet cute.
Shout out to Urmston!
My girlfriend and my son are currently fighting the good fight at the business end of one of these queues.
Please be kind to the folk serving you today.
I did not expect to see my local butchers on Reddit this morning. Hello fellow M41 resident. 👋🏼
Our butcher (third generation) has a new approach this year. They were ”collection only” on Sunday with a brass band in the morning, a choir in the afternoon and mulled wine for customers. it takes some of the pressure off the queues today.
I have never seen a dirtier road sign
I work in my towns butchers (been open nearly 200 years). They have been open since 6 and I drove past just now and the queue is out the door and I am going in at twelve to do the second half of the day. It’s going to be busy
