If it were truly British then upon an exception it would apologise excessively and offer to dust you off.

Queues would also be ubiquitous. Data could not be accessed in order, but would have to be retrieved from an unordered queue, which would necessarily involve a long wait.

There would also be a congestion charge for drivers at certain hours of the day and interfacing with Rails would cause unexpected delays.

Hmm. Queuing might well be ubiquitous but data would be accessible only in meticulous order: from the head of a queue and from nowhere else.

unordered queue

What is that? Do you mean a regular, non-priority, queue?
