I tend to go on the off season anyway, when the honour box is working and I pay what I can. Fewer mozzies then too  |
I just think its the thin edge of a very big wedge, if they can charge me to visit something I already own in a collective fashion, then what follows, charging to go in the library, art galleries, parks, what about walking on the canal tow path, and don't get me started about paying to visit the sick in hospital. Dont roll over and just pay what they say, anyone who can say its only a pound has too much money, Spring Wood which started this subversive tax debate has a donation box for those that wish to support the site, and I bet some of those people that say pay for a ticket never put twopence in the box, deciding instead to keep their hand on their twopence. Right point made, back to business.
