I'm getting a bit wound up now!
I withdraw my previous suggestion to 'get out if anyone objects'

Stay in, have them call the police. What are they going to charge you with? Swimming?

Grrrr. Tail wagging dog springs to mind!

We live in a council house that is being brought up to code because the conditions are illegal, should all be done in 6 weeks. We have had no kitchen for 3 weeks, cooking on a washing machine. Bathroom has plaster falling off the walls, so impossible to have a dencent bath (which I was getting electrocuted off for 3 days)

We had to life the carpets upstairs because there was dog hair on them and the electrician complained (I dont think they have heard of hoovers) and now he is refusing to work till the floorbords have been sanatised proffeshionally. The council are saying they dont have enough funds to redecorate the house properly (Ie no re-plastering, redecoration properly ect) but yet they can waste money doing this even though everyone but the electrician have said the floors were fine.

I am jsut at the end of my teather now, been like this for 3 weeks so far, and just fed up with it to the hilt.

they do wind me up, they make all that money flogging off that painting and yet can't afford to do up peoples homes and make them safe , i bet the counsellers live in beautiful houses.

if there were kids lessons in the main pool then it's obvious that your husband is going to be getting into the baby pool - otherwise why would he be paying an entry fee? that's so stupid - the staff should have told him when he tried to pay that he wouldn't be allowed to swim during that particular session.

i wonder what happens for muslim schoolchildren? do they go swimming with school?

i think it's fair enough to have a women-only session once a week as long as it's timetabled and clearly on show to anyone looking at the session times (or paying to get in - what muppets those staff must be!). but to allow him to pay and get into the pool and then kick him out is ridiculous!

is the women-only rule really for muslim women or is it that they think men might look at the schoolkids? our pool doesn't let anyone in when the kids are learning - not even mums with babies.
