Have a go at you !!! |

Foreigner |
That man at the bar got really annoyed with me just now. |
Friend |
Yes, I could see him having a go at you.
What was the reason ? |
Foreigner |
I wanted to get drinks for us and he said I had jumped the queue.
But people weren't standing in line at the bar. |
Friend |
That's true, but there actually was still a queue in the sense that
the rule is " first come, first served " and he must have been at
the bar before you. |
Foreigner |
Where I come from, it's every man for himself. |
Friend |
But not here I'm afraid, so it's best to follow the local rule if
you want to avoid such unpleasantness. |
