As we emerge from lockdown, I wonder whether all the insistence on “pre-booking“ will be retained by organisations because it makes their lives easier? The manager of my local tip told me, during a friendly chat, that she wants to keep the booking arrangements permanently for this very reason even though I can never predict a week in advance when I next need to drop garden waste at the tip!
This got me on to thinking about art galleries, historic sites and museums which I loved visiting up to March 2020! I understand why they are insisting on everyone (including members of their Friends groups) booking in advance of a visit. I assume they must have a legal duty to ensure visits are socially distant etc.
However, I’m wondering whether many attractions will find this an easier way to operate and decide to continue with it post June 21st or whenever these restrictions are eased. I for one really miss the spontaneity of the olden days. Maybe I’m alone in this! Any views?
