What is it about NTs ...

This week, I went to visit a local Council-run leisure centre to ask Reception a question as their website information is poor.  I was wearing headphones with active noise cancelling running.

I stepped inside the automatic front doors to be stopped in my tracks by a wall of sound thumping out of multiple ceiling-mounted speakers.

I could not walk in as far as the Reception Desk.

I left without being able to speak with anyone.

There is no point pursuing my enquiry as that entrance is they only way in to all of the facilities.

In years past (pre-pandemic) they didn't use to operate the Reception area that way. 

Apparently, the Council have let the contract to a new company to manage the site. 

Ridiculously loud nonsense.
