Thought I'd wander up this morning to see the opening and maybe get a t-shirt - first 4,000 people get 'em.

Maybe if I'd got here at 9am yesterday!

Queue is mental. I would have thought that the fuss would have died down as it's the second London store - clearly not.

Anyone else here?

Went to one in Lakeside Centre, had 2 tables, one with iPads the other with iPhones, meh. Was playing Flight Control "HD" and a little girl told me I was doing it wrong and started playing it for me - then a staff member joined in randomly and caused a crash.

I bertstared them both and left. True Story.

Oh, and turning up at 9am, on a cold, wet saturday morning to pick up a Apple t-shirt ... the queue isn't the only thing that's mental

Which is why a lot of Apple fans are essentially cultists...
