When a Day Out is a Disappointment

We have just got back from a fantastic day at the Burrell Collection!! It’s wonderful, well spaced out and signed though the labelling was sometimes hard to follow. Pollok park itself is beautiful, Our taxi driver told us that Glasgow has more green spaces than anywhere else in Scotland (UK? I might be wrong there). I’d recommend it to anybody who is interested in culture, there really is something for everybody. As for Princess Di and her butler, thankfully there was not a mention!

I went there a few years ago when my DD lived nearby. The Burrell collection was closed as the museum had renovations going on if Iremember rightly, but there was plenty to see despite this. Some people!

This cannot be a serious post! Why would Burrell in Glasgow have anything to do with a royal butler? I find it hard to imagine anybody could be so stupid as to publish their stupidity nationwide.

They just published a review on Trip Advisor - they presumably thought this info would be helpful to others who thought like them.
...maybe it was!

Anyway, I don't expect they thought it would attract public ridicule StoneofDestiny.

I have only been to the Burrell Collection once and that was when it was very new - and it absolutely blew my mind away. The trees came right up to the curtain glass walls and the exhibits are out of this world. Glorious.

They published it because they did not see it as stupidity and thought other people could well make the mistake they made.

My experience is that the proportion of people who go public with complaints that are unsound is quite high.

I can remember a woman going to papers because a double glazing salesman didn't tell her that the house she lived in was already double glazed when he came to her house. Despite having lived in the house for several months she didn't realise that the windows she had were double glazed. I am not sure what she thought double glazed windows looked like. The salesman just thought she wanted to replace the existing windows with more up to date ones with a different glazing pattern, which was something he came across regularly
