I suspect you misunderstood what janea was saying, lincslass. That is certainly not how I took her post.

I’m liking the National Trust less and less these days.
Earlier this year they offered passes worth I think £25…….. to readers of the Daily Express?
I complained about this via Twitter & the response was that they were trying to increase membership.
At the expense of existing members!

Obviously Daily Express readers are less worthy of joining the NT than, what Guardian or Mirror readers. What a snobby view. If your views are representative of the members, well I’m damn pleased I cancelled my subscription years ago.

Me too janeainsworth. Now to get into the car park it is a membership card per person, not one per car. Which will be very expensive for us GPs who take our DGC to NT places when we are looking after them.

Every year we go to see the Christmas lights in the gardens at Dunham Massey ( National Trust house and gardens in Cheshire). They are always stunning but not cheap! As DH and I usually end up paying for everyone it costs us well over £200. The tickets for this coming Christmas have gone on sale today!!! Surely that is months and months too early. I feel really angry, but if we leave it all the hours and days we could go will have been sold. And when I think of all the interest the NT will get for an entire year, it all seems just pure greed!
