So much potential, but a great disappointment.
Pleasley Pit Country Park and Local Nature Reserve的点评
点评:The whole experience was a disappointment.
It was all very amateur. There were signs everywhere saying "this way" and one way only" but they led to a dead end and the only way out was to retrace your steps. Lots of maps and guides but for another site (national coal mining museum 50 miles away).
There were no guides and very few notices.
The shop was just a storage area the only things offered for sale were cigarette pack sized bags of coal and plates for various pits. I wanted to get a plate for my Dad's pit but they were all in mixed piles and had to be checked individually. Even if I'd found one there were no prices and no one to handle the sale.
Finally the cafe had been making emitting the delicious aroma of bacon butties aall day. I queued for 30 minutes (one woman taking orders from two serving hatches. She also made the drinks, served cold food and took the payments. When I finally got served the had sold out of bacon.
I know the staff are volunteers, but someone needs to give the place a good shake up. It has potential to be so much better.
翻译:整个经历令人失望。一切都很业余。到处都有标语写着“这边走”和“只走一条路”,但它们通向死胡同,唯一的出路是原路返回。有很多地图和指南,但都是针对另一个地点(50 英里外的国家煤矿博物馆)。
没有指南,通知也很少。
这家商店只是一个储藏区,唯一出售的东西是香烟盒大小的煤袋和各种矿坑的盘子。我想买一个盘子给我爸爸的矿坑,但它们都是混在一起的,必须单独检查。即使我找到了一个,也没有价格,也没有人来处理销售。
最后,咖啡馆整天都在散发着培根三明治的美味香气。我排了 30 分钟的队(一位女士从两个服务窗口接单。她还调饮料、提供冷食并收钱。当我终于得到服务时,培根已经卖完了。
我知道工作人员都是志愿者,但需要有人给这个地方好好振作一下。它有潜力变得如此好多了。
