Sometimes US invites ridicule whereas hb&b seems to revel in it. The man is a simpleton and I wish it was possible to actually punch one of his posts.
Does anyone know him in real life? Is he really a complete berk or is it just another one of these oh-so-funny online personas?
In Bristol a huge number of public and private owned properties are free for one day a year - "Open Doors Day" and it allows many less well off folk a chance to experience stuff they'd otherwise never see.
Additionally it reignites the passions of the more affluent to enjoy these properties at other times of the year.
To be applauded, IMO.
I'm pretty sure that these are done for tax reasons - it's something to do with the way these places are classified for tax purposes. Perhaps those that open free one day a year can be declared as charities rather than revenue-earning businesses?
