herad a fact on the TV this evening which staggered me .A guy said
that Melbourne had 80...YES EIGHTY,50 metre swimming pools ( and I'll
bet they are SWIMMING pools ) .
How many has Glasgow got ....Is it 1...Is Tollcross,10 years old, a 50
metre pool .???

I know that Melbourne is a much larger City with a pop of about 3.6
million and Glasgow has,what,600,000.?? but even so ....80 pools ...


That's that hosting the Summer Olympics (which Melborne did) will do
for a town.

Nah....there is more to it than that methinks ...


A wealthy city in the hot sun versus a poor town in the fog and
rain. Which one do YOU think would attract more people to more pools?

Hmmmm....Tricky one that isn't it ....lol
