点评:We were heading for a break on the IoW.. I looked at things to do and saw a planetarium, it had literally been decades since I had visited one so added that to our list.
I wanted to make sure it was open so popped along on the Tuesday, it was closed, but not to worry It was open the very next day. It looked like it needed some TLC but it's important to support local businesses.
I checked the opening days/times and changed our plans to go the next morning. We were staying at Norton grange just down the road and was telling a couple of other guests there about our plans for the next day. They like me had not been to a planetarium for a very long time so they arranged a taxi to take the 4 of them the next day.
We arranged to meet up at 9.45 the next day.
Got to Island Planetarium. It wasn't yet open. So we waited... 10 O'clock came, not open.. 10.15 not open, at 10.25 we gave up. 7 people who had made plans, paid for travel, organized something nice to do...... And the owner who advertised their business as being open didn't bother to turn up.
That really highlights the issues of the worst of British businesses, left 7 people stood waiting in the cold 4 of them approaching 80 because they couldn't be bothered to get there when they were supposed to.
We won't be back and I wonder how many others have had that same experience.
Really really poor.
翻译:我们正准备去怀特岛度假。我查了一下有什么好玩的,发现有个天文馆,我上次去天文馆都几十年了,所以就把它加到了行程单上。
为了确认天文馆是否开放,我周二特意去了一趟,结果发现它关门了。不过没关系,第二天就开了。天文馆看起来需要好好修缮一下,但支持本地商家很重要。
我查了一下开放日期和时间,把计划改到了第二天早上。我们住在附近的诺顿庄园酒店,跟那里的几位客人聊起了我们第二天的计划。他们也跟我一样很久没去过天文馆了,所以第二天帮他们四个人叫了辆出租车。
我们约好第二天早上9点45分见面。
到了怀特岛天文馆,发现它还没开门。于是我们等了……10点到了,还没开门……10点15分还是没开门,10点25分我们只好放弃。7个人,都做了计划,付了路费,精心安排了这次美好的约会……结果店主明明广告上说营业,却根本没露面。
这真是凸显了英国最差劲的商家的问题,7个人在寒风中苦等,其中4个人都快80岁了,就因为他们懒得按时出现。
我们以后不会再来了,不知道还有多少人跟我们一样。
真是太差劲了。
