Next time you're
a. at Centre Parks
b. bored of an evening - after the pool has closed
..take a look at where the outdoor pool exits / enters the main dome and you'll see it's closed off with a roller shutter - it was not always like that....
Used to to be it was just one of those plastic / rubber curtain things - the type you see on warehouse doors - as we found out on a jolly-boys weekend many moons ago.
Seeing this, someone had the bright idea we shuffle down the slope (dry cos the outside pool system is drained at night) and go play in the main dome
All pumps for food and drink were on - o'course no-one would expect anyone to be in there so, we lark about for a bit, no damage but we'd pulled a couple of beers and the odd ice-cream (so rock and roll!!) then we spied security were on the way in....
We all scarper, dive into boating lake, seemed a sensible way to erm, 'disguise' the fact we'd been swimming in the pool....
Security collar us, can't say toooo much when we deny all knowledge of being in the building.... we get a rollocking but don't get asked to leave site!
And that, ladies and gents, is why they now use the roller shutter.....
Oh, and, end of the weekend, took us about 10 trips to take loan bikes (of all shapes and sizes) back to the hire shop - we'd got into the habit of simply 'borrowing' the nearest one to hand when we came out of the club of a night....
