It's not that different really. I think because it was listed they were mindful of keeping the original design. The diving boards have gone. If you google it there's a link to quite a long article that detailed all the work involved in the refurbishment.

It's still there, I had a look. Tinside Lido. Opened in 1935, closed in 1992 and refurbished it reopened in 2003. It's Grade 2 listed. No wonder it was cold it was replenished with fresh sea water every 4 hours.

I wonder if that's where the outdoor swimming pool was many years ago. Absolutely freezing it was that pool.

I don't think that's true. Some may be bought but the majority of book reviews, at least on Amazon are mostly genuine. I have over 200 reviews on my book blog. All transferred over to Amazon, quite a few to Waterstones. It takes up a lot of time and effort.

Thank you for sharing Jill. This book is a wonderful story. I don't venture on X much any more so I will share again. 😊

We've got the Meadow pattern. A wedding present back in 1982. I still use those things. Only got the tea plates and cereal dishes left. They don't get used much because they're in our motorhome, even so...😱 They can get in the bin. Bit after the event tho' 😬

An absolute carbon copy of the plot of the fictional novel written back in the early 80's A Very British Coup by Chris Mullin which I read during the 2015 leadership campaign. We're going to suffer at the hands of the greedy for ever.

I'm fine thank you, but do spend most of my time over where the sky is blue now.

Wish you'd tell my husband that. Every night 10.00pm, cannot possibly miss it, except he does because he sleeps through most of it. Leaving me to suffer the misery despair of it. I wouldn't care if I never saw it ever again.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary Well I actually joined Twitter but let's not argue over it.

none of these are helpful. I need to speak to someone really. The box where the legal name is entered (automatically entered by Amazon and uneditible) has taken first initial off payment card for first name, then put second initial and surname together

@AmazonHelp struggling with age verification to purchase an electric carving knife. You asked that I remove the Mr on my payment card details and now its filled in the name completely wrong and won't allow me to complete the transaction.

As someone pointed out this is digital ID by the back door. They've just got what they wanted all along. Very clever. 🤨 Children's welfare was not the intention.

You know what makes me smile, the absolute drama, the national outcry at the felling of a tree and yet that same moralistic take doesn't seem to extend to wildlife and animals with quite the same passion. 🤷‍♀️

You're quite right, we're too soft. I've put up with next door's house renovations for 4 months now every single weekend. Hammering, banging, plaster mixing, rubble clattering I can cope with but I am sick and tired of their radio infiltrating my house.

Yep. It's only 7.15pm and our dog is already a nervous wreck thanks to some prat letting blasting fireworks off in the street outside. Been dreading tonight all day. I used to like NYE years ago. It's no fun anymore.

This was on the news tonight, but none of what she said here was mentioned or broadcast. She's absolutely right and very gracious to have accepted it, I'd have told them to shove it where the sun don't shine. A lovely, brave lady.

The toffee penny goes in the bin, can't afford the dental charges that go with those filling extractors.
