Hi, I'm John, and I've been passionate about #history since I could remember. I majored in history and historical research and trained for a year under an actual historian. Ultimately, I am a History Buff like many of us. Let's #react and discuss things we know and so much we don't know about history!

Cheeky isnt sneaky, but being sneaky would definitely be cheeky.
Causeway in the UK means a raised path or road crossing water, marshland, sand, etc.
Not liking the rain tends to be a British Isle thing. When it rains in England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland it tends to be a cold, windy rain that nobody wants to be out in. Where I live in Canada we can get hot summers so when it rains it tends to be a rain that makes you feel better. When I lived in Malaysia I absolutely loved standing out in the warm rain during Monsoon season.
I don't think us British love to queue in the sense that we enjoy the activity of queing, but we like thinking of ourselves as willing to wait patiently for our turn and that we act civilised on mass. It's not exactly a myth - we do queue a lot, but it is a common trope we tell ourselves. There's an air of self fulfilling prophesy to it, we like that we queue, therefore we're more willing to form one.
It's not that we like queueing (you would have to be insane), it's just that we're really good at it. And queue jumping is considered a crime against humanity.
Queuing I think is a throwback from Second World War where goods became scarce. People would queue in an orderly fashioned. The British know how to queue in a calm and respectful way. Until someone tries queue jumping. Argy-bargy I recall it used during Falklands Conflict with reference to Argentinian. Headline in Sun News Paper.
It's older than that. Orderly queues are recorded at least as far back as the Industrial Revolution, with people queueing to clock into and out of the factories. But it's not hard to imagine it goes further back than that.
Yes pretty sure it goes back to 19th Century and WW1. I mentioned WW2 because it was an I iconic part of War on the home front in living memory (Just)
Lawrence came up with some words in common usage here , that you didn't know . That's a tick ( which I think you call a Check mark ) in the box to me , as usual it's always interesting to hear your thoughts John .
Argy-bargy: onomatopoeia?
it seems so in this case.
