点评:After having an afternoon tea at Rutland Hall for my friends birthday treat, I wanted to quickly show her Normanton Church as she'd never been to Rutland Water before. We arrived at sunset, at 4.19pm, but on entry to the car park, saw some signs that said it closed at 4pm. I was therefore expecting the electric barrier/ticket machine to not let us in. Out of curiosity I pushed the button and got a ticket and the barrier opened! I thought, wow we must be lucky as they haven't closed it yet. We quickly went to the church and got some beautiful photos just as the lights turns on, lighting up the church. After rushing back, I realized the car park is pitch black, no lighting anywhere and the pay machines were locked up. I drove back to the barriers where I'd come in, and realised we couldn't get out that way. Then I noticed the note on my windscreen, saying I was locked in until 9am the next morning, they did not respond to call outs, and some taxi numbers were provided. Seeing as we were not local, a taxi would have cost £75. Plus I needed my car for work at 7am the next day. Another couple had also got stranded but they eventually discovered where the exit was, in the dark, and that there was a contactless payment option to get out, so after a lot of phone calls and anxiety, we paid and left.
IF THERE WAS A WAY TO GET OUT, WHY THE SCARY NOTE LEFT ON MY WINDSCREEN SAYING I NEED A TAXI??
I even called the taxi company to see if it was a scam, but the lady was lovely and said they didn't even realise their number was handed out.
Dear ANGLIA WATER
Locking people in car parks, or threatening to lock them in, plus poor lighting and signage, plus not locking entrance gates when the car park ACTUALLY closes, is all really very poor.
Perhaps you should introduce a fine instead, but still allow people to leave. One day you'll have an emergency on your hands. As for me, I'm not ever coming back to Rutland Water again.

如果有办法离开,为什么我的挡风玻璃上会留下一张可怕的纸条说我需要出租车???
我甚至打电话给出租车公司,看看这是否是一个骗局,但那位女士很友善,说他们甚至没有意识到他们的号码被分发了。
亲爱的安格利亚水务公司
将人锁在停车场,或威胁将他们锁在里面,加上糟糕的灯光和标识,以及在停车场真正关闭时不锁入口大门,这些都真的很糟糕。
也许你应该引入罚款,但仍然允许人们离开。有一天你会遇到紧急情况。至于我,我再也不会回到拉特兰水务公司了。
