Thanks for your time, it seems like I won't be joining them then, they already been there for a week and prolly knew about the change months before, if nothing has been done so far it seems like Fusion management just changed name to something else and keeps running the same gym, well done Council.

  • 2 weeks later...

Been to lane-swim twice since the handover.


First time pool was in a bit of a state, rubbish and a household fliptop bin poolside. I was greeted with what felt like a warning that even as a non-member I would not be able to use the facilities in the future without a card (eg: surrender your details).


Second time, what I was told was an 8" wide 'safety zone' ("cos there's only one pool attendant")had been cordoned off on the edge of fast lane, making it significantly smaller than the medium lane, which in turn was probably 50% smaller than the vast ocean of a slow lane. With barely anyone in it. Greeted again with an exhortation to fill out commercial paperwork or risk exclusion from a local authority facility. Nice to see they've taken the time to jazz-up the wall of the pool with an ad for the merchandise in reception/shop, though.


Ha, and indeed, rumph.

My feelings a few weeks in - staff the same (helpful but limited), timetable (little or no difference), reception full of merchandising and unhealthy snacks/food, general upkeep is terrible (non functioning toilets, cold water in showers and/or pool, a/c not working in the class rooms upstairs). When I get some time/energy I'm going to ask for some money back for Jun-Jul!

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner.
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
