Yes, Jamesy.
Queue is spelled the same way in the USA. However, it is not used to describe a line in which people stand.

That's why I'm a member of the Defence Force whereas you are all members of the Defense Force.
But, curiously, Cloud, when first suggesting the Defence force on the comments actually used Defence rather than Defense.
Therefore the LG15 Defence Force is intrinsically English....

What bothers me is something a little different!
Cloud (or whoever set up the LGpedia page,) titled the page, "Defense force."
It is incorrect not to capitalize both words, yet that is the only way to link to it.

All I've seen of London was the trip to the airport there from Scotland.

See Jess, you'll fit very well into English life. Also, we tend not to use British much nowadays, since each nation hates each other
