Xann Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Suggestions on things to do during the lock in, freebies and such. Bitch in the other threads. The National Trust are reviewing what needs to be closed (houses) and what can be open (gardens). Looks like much of the safe stuff will be free. Keep an eye on the website, think they'll announce something Friday maybe? https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it voluntary subscription for the same price - people who like and value the BBC can subscribe and others who don't, will save £150 a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
