Thanks for the replies, plenty of food for thought.
I feel like breaking into the Big Horse Song. "Maybe it's a Big Horse I'm a Londoner......" etc.
(apologies to Victor Lewis Smith for nicking that gag).

I like Westminster Abbey.
But then I like dead historical people.

I wish it didn't cost about a squillion pounds to get in. Church type places should surely be free, really.
I found the queue to get in a bigger problem myself. Would like to see those famous hammerbeams one day in all their glory.

Hey ! I'm not having that !
My sculpture of a screw made out of ,er, a screw, is in there and may well win the Pullitzer Prize or Brooker Prize or somesuch.
Anyway it's a great post Modernist existential portrayal of a screw trying to come to terms with global warming and the rising tensions with Islam.
Philistine.

Are the counselling sessions with Bruce Willis helping?

Well then how should they fund them, taxes?

No, he's dead you know.

Couldn't care less!
But I thought churches were supposed to be open to everyone. People in need, all that shiz.
Maybe the pope could sell one of his golden thrones or priceless paintings or ruby nipple rings and pay for a decade's worth of upkeep.
They're preserving our cultural historic heritage.
Geez whilkers who you picking on next? The National Trust?
It's £15 to get in! That's too much.
They might be preserving my cultural heritage, but it's only rich foreign tourists who ever get to see it! I never will.

Quit bitching and get a rich f**king boyfriend! You're not getting any younger so your ability to snare one dwindles by the day!

Yes. Take benefits away from the poor and give them to the churches (directly - not the Church, the institution).
