Jobsworth swimming pool attendants.

Given bands for kids pool, got to pool, can’t go in as full, you need blue bands, we’ve got blue bands, sorry it’s full, what’s the point of the bands then? Sorry, it’s full”.......... officiously pulls an impenetrable 2ft plastic fence across the gap.

Went to big pool for awhile, saw kids pool quieter and barrier removed, went back to kids pool. “Excuse me, you need red bands, blue session is finished. But we didn’t get in, you said it was full. Yes, it was only for blue bands. But we had blue bands and you didn’t let us in. Sorry, it was full and only for blue bands. So what’s the point of the bands.? Sorry for the inconvenience, this is red session now.

Went in anyway and suffered no ills other than being glowered at.

Bought a bag of general stock mix from a different supplier to my usual one. Instead of a large picture of a ewe on the side and large lettering in English and Welsh to tell you what was inside with a four inch square list of the contents, weight use by date etc I got a plain sack with only a two iinch label giving all these details. After I had given this a quick wipe most of the type came off on my glove, so I wouldn't have known what was in the bag. Taking economies too far !
