Rant medley

1. Tourist information offices are must useful when; a) located near the main transport hub
b) open after the main bus of the day gets to town

2. While keeping roads free of snow when it falls for a large chunk of the year is impressive, how about doing the same for pavements? A choice between walking on ice and getting run over is not a good one.

3. Tourism may increase if attractions are open for more than 4 or 5 hours a day. Oh, and please stop closing everything on Monday.

4. Town planning. Planning implies some kind of forethought and logic. This seems to be missing. While we're on the subject, street signs are very useful, just give it a try.

5. It's useful when maps given to tourists actually cover a big enough area of the town to include everything that is advertised.

6. Trams. I hate trams. There does not need to be yet another obstacle to crossing the road. Also, if you stop accepting cash payment, take the on board ticket machines out of service and don't provide anywhere to buy tickets at the stops, i'm gonna ride for free.
