I spent a most enjoyable day yesterday
doing some groundwork for a forthcoming project here on The DC featuring London
museums - making notes for some blog posts, a little bit of filming and some
podcast recording, as well as research for my walking tours.
I was in-and-out of museums and galleries
from South Kensington to the Euston Road and I pretty much lost count of the
number of times my bag was searched.
On every occasion the men and women charged
with the task did so not only with the efficiency required for the job but with
a welcome friendliness and often with good humour. It can be an unpleasant
process – for searcher and searchee both – and I'm sure they get some pretty
tricky customers over the course of the day.
This museum visitor, however, found all the
security staff without exception to be cheerful and welcoming and generally
great ambassadors for London.
It's not a very sexy thing to type on
WhingeAdvisor – it won't give me that instant rush-of-blood-to-the-head that the Simon Cowells of
cyberspace seem to crave. But it's worth saying.
If we have to live in such a security
conscious climate, then I'm glad that we are in such good hands. Well done and
THANKS to everyone I met yesterday.
