PGP Leads Corporate Efforts To Save Bletchley Park

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the night-at-the-museum dept.

blake182 writes "CNET reports that PGP, together with IBM and other technology firms, is mounting a fundraising effort to benefit the ailing Bletchley Park, home of the Station X codebreaking efforts in World War II. 'We're calling attention (to the fact that) Bletchley is falling into disrepair, and that, probably, the world owes a debt of gratitude to that place,' said Phil Dunkelberger, chief executive of PGP."

    The last time I was in England I noticed most British historical sites were staffed by volunteers who work basically for tips. Perhaps changing their pay scale would help attract qualified tour guides?

    That's because of the National Trust which is a typically British hybrid of charity/monopoly/collection of mostly retired amateurs. It owns most 'historical' stuff and you're right the staff they get are not too bright.
