Young Brits too busy to queue
Younger UK residents are too impatient to queue in places such as shops because they are used to getting everything instantly online.
The young internet-age Britons have been hailed as the "Won't Wait, Won't Do" generation in a report by easyMoney.com.
"With a generation so accustomed to the speed of the internet, offline services such as doctors, dentists and hairdressers seem rather sluggish in comparison," said easyMoney.com owner Stelios Haji-Ioannou.
"The internet saves us over an hour each day, which works out as more than a fortnight each year. Being so spoilt for speed, we have lost our trademark British patience - the image of the queuing Englishman has truly been consigned to the past."
The study found that two-fifths (42 per cent) of Britons aged 18-29 would miss a trip to the doctor's because they can't bear waiting for an appointment. This impatience is resulting in genuine health problems, with a sixth (16 per cent) becoming more unwell as a result.
These same Britons could all be sporting dentures by the age of 30 as 30 per cent of 18 to 29-year-olds risk say they don't have time to get to the dentist.
