Of course not!

The swipecard front doors are broken and the inner back door doesn't
open fully. I think the only day all 5 sets of doors were working was
when the queen visited.

Even when they work, they are so slooooooooow that you always walk into
them too. I think half the faults are due to people pushing them aside
in frustration (guilty, m'lud).

The Queen day was fun, trying to watch the orchestra fit a double bass
through a metal detector. I managed to sneak a bunch of tourists in to
have a nosey :-) The sight of Sykesy-boy actually simpering to someone
was a rare sight too.
