Press card gets almost universal acceptance

A wise Dominican friend has said that he enjoys reading this blog but from time to time finds the negative aspects somewhat tedious. Point taken and a purpose of amendment is in the pipeline.

Having said that, it might be worth relating this tale.

Anyone who is a member of the NUJ is entitled to a press card but one has to apply for it.

The press card is accepted in museums, galleries, gardens exhibitions around the world and grants the bearer free admittance.

This blogger has been using the card for over ten years. On Thursday for the first time, free admittance was refused. The place was at the church of San Clemente in Rome.
