点评:The Abbey and adjoining cemetery are good places to visit and relatively peaceful. The Abbey itself is massively spoiled by metal fencing everywhere. Apparently unchanged for years. What is happening ? However here’s the worst part. The entrance clearly states
Admission Free. Donations welcomed.
But on entering the size one is immediately engaged by personnel swooping in like salesmen in a car showroom informing you that a £2.50 donation is the norm ( read required ). Although I have no issue at all with paying to visit the site , it is misleading and deceitful on enter to be informed that it is not actually ftee at all, unless one doesn’t cough up or walks out with embarrassment. Suppose you had no cash or card on your person.
Summary.
Get rid of the deceitful free admission sign and introduce payed entry, thus depending with the necessity of staff aggressively hounding you for ‚donations‘
翻译:修道院和毗邻的墓地是值得参观的好地方,而且相对宁静。修道院本身却被到处可见的金属栅栏破坏得千疮百孔,似乎多年来一直没有改变。这是怎么回事?然而最糟糕的是,入口处明明写着“免费入场,欢迎捐款”。
但一进门,就会立刻被工作人员像汽车展厅里的销售员一样迎面扑来,告诉你2.5英镑的捐款是常态(读作“必须捐款”)。虽然我完全不介意付费参观,但一进门就被告知其实根本不免费,这太误导人了,除非你不掏钱或者尴尬地走出去。假设你身上没有现金或银行卡。
总结:
取消欺骗性的免费入场标志,实行付费入场,这样就需要工作人员咄咄逼人地追着你索要“捐款”了。
