Going down with all hands

The bad news is that Carbootsale Swimming Baths is to close due to council efficiencies.

The good news is that the community room at Catty Library is the length of an Olympic size swimming pool.

We just need to move the photocopier from the shallow end.

It's the loo closure I find abysmal. Where is the entrepreneur who'll build fragrant loos and people will pay for them. Do we want peeing in the streets?

Some of our best-loved sports started from even stranger beginnings.

In a town where we lived they built a luxury fun-swimming bath from the money of the taxpayer. After some time they closed it (though there were a lot of people coming) and sold it for 1 Euro - to the builder of the bath. He could buy the big shopping-center that he had built after a while too. And a wonderful old building, listed - he conversed it to flats, and the town considerately allowed that he felled a lot of trees in the community park in front of it - they took away his sunshine, and by this he had more ground to build further flats upon...
Lone fighter - no team sport.

So "we're all in this together" applies to the photocopiers??
