That's nothing.
I just drove all the way to Guildford Cathedral, and parked up my car to
be greeted by a big sign saying "sorry, the cathedral is closed today".
What, like they couldn't be bothered to include this "minor detail" on
their website?!
(The website says they're setting up for the flower show today, but
conveniently neglects to mention that this actually means the entire
cathedral is shut...)
An entire morning and several gallons of petal completely wasted. Great.
