Worming up for Apple

When the 4G hit the market in London, I thought why not buy one..
Especially that I was waiting for it's arrival since January 9th. as a birthday present
for my brother..
I went to Regent's Street Apple Store and saw the long queue, even though it was almost
the end of the day..
Next day I tried their store at the Westfield mall, and it was as bad.. the thing is, the queue
didn't get shorter.. I went shopping around, had my lunch I refreshed came back and the queue
stayed as long! I gave up on the idea and only then I learned the fact that only people with British bank accounts can buy it at that time.. or something like that..
It's the Arabic blood in me that makes me resistant to queuesss :-))
