Sea pollution ????

[dycedon]

i was swimming at surk cafe last week, as were my grandkids and never noticed any difference.

Stoop - no I have never swam in the sea at Calis - only in the pool in the complex where we stay.

I do participate in Open Water swimming (Salford Quays and Chatsworth House in the Great Swim Series and triathlons) and have scuba dived so I'm happy in water. I don't like the beach at Calis due to the stones and the heat and I'm not a lover of lying on a beach anywhere. I like being able to nip into AC to cool down. Salford and Derbyshire are cooler than Calis!

I cannot comment on what the water quality/ratio of turds is normally like in Calis as I haven't even paddled in it. It was only due to someone flagging the potential (recent?) situation whilst I was there (I got back home last night) that I took any interest in it's current state.

The colour of the sea did look different when it was pointed out though. It is a very distinct colour change that I certainly hadn't noticed before in 4 visits. It's not uncommon for Salford Quays or even Windermere to be closed to swimming due to Algae growth so large bodies of water can and do change for that reason.

Now, now, Stoop. You know that it is quite permissible on a forum to accuse fellow contributors of having sexual relations with their grandparents or condoning mass murder and similar small offences. But to point out a spelling mistake is to go beyond the boundaries of acceptable forum behaviour and to receive a storm of abuse. Tut, tut. Anyway, after the mistake JH says she did it deliberately to wind up GordonA.

Hey you, keep me out of this !!  Illiteracy is the big problem in this instance, in my not so humble opinion. Stoop, you go for it mate, and if you ever want lessons in "wind upping", my hourly rates are very reasonable .;-)

Don't you mean "winding up" ?

What, and finish a statement with a preposition? How slovenly.

Yep, I was always the rebel at grammar school !
