PRESLEY Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 39 minutes ago, Mr Bloke said: Hmmm... Now either Mr Padders has been having a lunchtime session with his favourite Old Speckled Hen... ... or Flapper is trying to stir up a bit of trouble again while Mr Padders is having his afternoon nap! Either way, take my advice... don't do it! You will be drawn into a world where nothing is as it first appears - a world where you will be actively encouraged to argue with everyone - including yourself! Totally innocent posters will become your focus of attention, with the aim of annoying them sufficiently with your repetitious drivel that they give up posting for evermore. These "cults" are impossible to escape once they have you under their power... ... and they can affect rational thinking to the extent that you begin to believe EVERYONE has multiple forum accounts but yourself! The "Mr Risen Fan Club" has a lot to answer for... Ive got the double up, I'm banned from the HHR fan club and Padders bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECCOnoob Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 21 minutes ago, Anna B said: OK, a seaside complex might be a bit ambitious, but I'd still like an outdoor pool with a retractable roof. Might even be able to replace one of the swimming pool rooves already in existence when they need a refurb. The Hillsborough pool for example might be a good option. Why though? It just doesn't seem to suit our climate and weather and seems it awful lot of expenditure for something barely used each year. Surely, for those interested in swimming outdoors the joy would be the uniqueness and exhilaration of swimming in the sea, freshwater lakes or rivers or reservoirs - thus people have those options. The joy of swimming in a purpose built pool is the protection from the elements, control of the temperature and accessibility in all weather conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget clean and supervised swimming pools, go Swimming in the sea full of sewerage and if not, then there are stagnant lakes and polluted rivers in abundance to choose from.

Yet Sheffield used to have at least 3 outdoor pools, and from what I remember they were all well used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
