Message: <blockquote data-quote="redrevis" data-source="post: 147442" data-attributes="member: 27435">I've read of people going to Alton Towers and getting bands to skip the queue when their children have diabetes.  I went to Alton Towers the other week, I queued with everyone else, I was in the sun, I didn't have any hypos as I took regular BG readings and corrected appropriately. I understand how people would get these bands for their kids as that's a whole different ball game, but personally I would never use my diabates to skip queues. Infact I can't see where I would ever use it as a reason to gain an advantage over a non-diabetic person. But maybe that's just me. It does boil my blood when I see people cutting in the queues though. At Alton Towers a group of teenagers pushed in waiting for Oblivion and a member of staff saw them. He went over and said "you'll have to join the back of the queue", the teenagers argued as they wanted to be with their friends and the back wasn't that far away and the staff member just let them stay there and said "ok just this once". I couldn't believe it, what a bl**dy wimp. If you're going to tell them to get to the back you should follow through with it, not chicken out when they argue. In the end he actually waited until the teenagers had gone further along the queue and then let a load of people behind them join the fast track queue. So not all bad in the end  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
