I think you should get there about 10am
That sounds like a good idea. I should imagine the queue will only go as far as Rotherham at that point lol.
My time will be in the 5am area. My alarm will be going off at 4.20. I'll get up, grab a Maccy D's breakfast (5am) and figure out if the doors to the Mal are open. If not, wait outside. Having said that, a store staff member told me a guy was staying over night, so presumably, they would have to keep the place unlocked (for fire regs).
Haha, if the worst comes to the worst, i'll just have to buy a case then and pretend for a while :L I wonder how many people will be there haha? I would be shocked if there were more than 20 haha
There was a fairly big queue when 10.5 was released - I only went for a t-shirt (which is too damn small!!)
I'd be very happy with 20 people queing tomorrow (unless they only have 19 ipads!!)
I emailed them today and they said that the central doors will be open at about 6am. I'm a bit dodgy health-wise (nothing contagious!) so I won't be going too early as the queuing may be a bit hard. Hoping to get there no later than 7am.
I really don't know what to expect tomorrow, I keep imagining that the whole country is as excited ad I am, but in reality most people don't know about it.
It turns out I'm not going early now, my friend couldn't get the money together to get one today!
I'm going to Meadowhall later at about 10:30 so he can see one then and then he hopes to buy one next week, I tole him he was crazy and they will sell out by the end of the week, if not today.
I am really disappointed now, this would have been my first apple launch
Good luck to those who are still getting one, let me know how it all goes!

Jesus I'm about 30th in the que and there are about another 30 behind me, think they have ran out of room for people to que? Lol
Just got back myself. More people there than I was expecting, to be honest. I was feeling a bit tense over stock even though I knew my iPad was sat at home.
Picked up my case. Have to say I'm impressed, particularly with the slanted viewing angle.

I'm home too, just syncing it (64GB +3G). I hate the first sync of these things, always takes ages and all I want to do is play!
I was about 20th in the queue and I got out at about 8:30. All in all, not bad... Plus, free water!

The let me jump the queue a bit because I was getting a wi-fi only. Most people seemed to be getting 3Gs. Quite good really as the bloke behind me pushed in front of me as we were getting closer.
I was amazed with how quick they were serving people, it's usually pretty slow in there on a normal day.
