hissingsid Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 They are letting school children swim free for a few hours after school for the winter period this is a great idea I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) @quilpYeah they don't fly either. There's always an exception. I think we can agree that most* cats don't like to swim.

hissingsid Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 If they had ordered the flumes from a place nearer our shores, not Turkey, they could have got the fitters for the manufacturer to come and do the primary measurements themselves instead of going for a cheap option then any mistakes would have been down to them without any doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cissolt Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Does anyone know why the spa is closed at the NSC? Nothing in their social media, I have been told they are doing some work and it's taking longer than expected.... The last time this weekend it was closed for over a year!

Hopefully sorting out the world's most inefficient steam room which currently permanently pumps out steam and uses an extractor fan to balance the heat rather than just using a thermostat like pretty much every other steak room in existence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
