    Today, it is the swimming pool… What is in the water? How long have we had swimming pools?  At school, the chlorine made my eyes sting… But we survived… And we will have swallowed some… We survived…

    It didn’t ruin our skin…  It may have killed the germs, but it didn’t kill us. I guess it was a mild form of antibacterial solution. Perhaps just to prevent people being tempted to sue. In those days it was a ‘public’ pool.

    In a ‘private’ pool, we will have signed that temptation away in the small print…

    But people don’t become ill… Health clubs and spas stay open, and safe…

    They stake their reputations on it…

    And they are great places to be, without that dreaded smell of excessive amounts of chlorine, and the smell of tobacco smoke…

    Remember those days?
