Katie Birkwood: Yeah, I thought it worth clarifying partly for that reason. (The queuing-for-hours things seems unbelievable from a UK perspective.) We're mostly immune to Tooting jokes. Don't ask us about the Yorkshire village of Wetwang, though.

Queuing at my polling station in Tooting before the doors opened and still queuing at 11am. #UKGE2024

Just checking -- you mean there was a queue first thing, and you've been past it again now and there's also a queue? Not that people queuing at 7am still haven't voted yet? (Lots of replies seem to be taking the second meaning.)

Yes, you’re right. Sorry for the confusion! People constantly joining the end of the queue as it flows through.

In parts of the US, a many-hour queue is common. Hence the confusion. Also, does being from the UK make you immune to the juvenile fart jokes about living in Tooting?

🤣🤣 We remember making jokes when transferring train to bus in Woking (train, bus, and walking??), so we're clearly too immature for UK place names.
