York Railway Museum

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Last weekend, Sunday 16th of August, my wife and I took some time out shopping in York, I also managed to persuade her that we could re-visit the Railway Museum! Not that I am a latent train spotter, or anything like that, but I like to keep abreast of any new additions or discover things I had previously overlooked. Of course now that the government has made such visits free the attendance figures are I’m sure much greater, so we braved the crowds swelling the various halls. However I think a fee would not be amiss, it might jolt them back into the real world, where you have to pay for your amusement. Yes I accept that there is always a case for allowing disadvantaged people to partake of such attractions at a discount, but really everything needs to have a value or they become abused. Just a token charge would go some way to making the place a commercial activity. Anyhow I digress this post was not a moan about the government, although that would be easy, but many others are setting it out chapter and verse on this appalling administration, this time next year we will be moaning about the other lot! You know the so-called, “Conservatives”. Will they do any better, not a chance!
