    • This is the right sort of response from the BBC (Friday night comedy).  Well done.  Please listen before commenting. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0mfx7h4  
    • On Tuesday and Thursday this week, the pool was very cold!
    • Found Amex card on Goose Green. PM with your name and the last 4 digits of the card number if you think it might be yours. 
    • I’m not sure the problems were caused by Everyone Active. They run perfectly good centres elsewhere, including the Queen Mum which until recently was my main pool. As far as I can remember the problems with the Dulwich pool started months after it was handed over to Southwark. But I might be wrong on that. I think there was a period when EA weren’t investing in it, pre hand back to Southwark, which is not surprising, but it was maintained to legal standards, I’m sure. I tried to swim at Dulwich a couple of weeks back. The water is far too hot. I would say it’s bordering on dangerous. I’m sure it’s within the tolerances etc but it is significantly warmer than JAGS (warm but still ok for session swims) which itself is way warmer than any of the other pools I swim at (Queen Mum, St Pancras, Oasis). I do wonder if all the problems they had with filters are related to the temp of the water. Peckham Pulse and Camberwell aren’t hot  so I think it’s a manager decision to run Dulwich so hot. Appreciate that the pool temp has nothing to do with the showers.
