I want to go to places where their focus of the staff is on doing their job, and where the rest of the clientele are focused on enjoying the experience, rather than judging whose smart casual wear is smart enough. I don't want to go to a golf club from a 1970s sitcom.

I don't mind places having a dress code, so long as it is well publicised. I can then actively avoid using them, even when I pass their dress code.

The nice thing about a Land Tax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax is that you can't offshore land. It would make getting planning permission a lot more contentious.

A charity shop is a business. It only helps the charity when it makes a profit. They will leave the door open, because it means they get more business and sell more stuff. "air curtains" above a door direct the air flow from above the door to reduce the mixing of cold air from outside.

If you put the same heater at the back of the shop, then it would be cold near the door and warm at the back of the shop. We notice changes in temperature, more than the absolute temperature, so it feels less comfortable to have hot and cold spots. People coming into the shop will notice that...
