    1) it's an exaggeration nether the less.
    2) that is how it appears to me
    3) I can imagine it's in Havant, near Portsmouth which obviously narrows down the list of possibilities.


    Lol. It's not fair so to prove a point you've tried to identify the receptionist.
    Not fair?

    Of course the likelihood of a people searching her posts to identify her in almost non existence- but you've done it anyway. Says it all really op..

    Not really the op has their location displayed. As I said you're really scraping the barrel now.

    The op did. So what?
    your the one who's created a Google entry for Havant.
  • It wasn't my local leisure centre. Perhaps the receptionist would take offence at you insinuating that is was them who where involved in yesterdays incident.

    Shou there not have been a wet floor sign at least? Or someone cleaning it up to prevent an accident.

    Well no because as you have pointed out it had only just happened.
    It's someone else's fault.
  • I don't how long the water had been there or if anyone had been made aware of it.
    The swimmer was in the middle of the que he could have just arrived or he could have been there for ten minutes.

    If it was a genuine accident then I accept it but if this could have been prevented easily and wasn't then it needs addressing.

    You said in your first post that it had only just happened

    "someone in the que at the reception desk had obviously just walked out of the swimming pool"

    these incidents were accidents in my day....now its always someone elses fault
  • I meant just walked out as in - making no attempt to dry off or wear shoes etc
    Not just as in timing.

    Sorry I should have worded it better.
