Ask nicely guys!

Scenario - last Saturday at our gliding club (Weston on the Green). Steady rain, so no flying & the aircraft hangar was shut.

One of our members encountered an unknown person trying to open the hangar door.

Stranger: "The door's locked, I want to see inside"

Member: "Can I help you?"

Stranger:"I want to see the gliders, the door's locked"

Member: "Why do you want to see them"?

Stranger: "I'm a spotter, why is the door locked?"

Member: "Because it's raining and we're not flying. Come back when we're flying if you want to see the gliders"

We have been happy enough to accommodate polite spotters since EASA inflicted G-REG gliders on us but believe me in this particular case there was no way that the door was going to be opened for such a rude .

So if you're reading this matey, please say please next time!
