Sorry, but its the Llandudno Swimming Pool again.
Today I was aware of some closures of the pool, (just as it was ALL last weekend) ... so took the time to check it out to avoid frustration.
Firstly, I called them on the phone to be told that the pool was closed to ''the public'' from 9am until 2.30pm today.
It would re-open for me to use at 2.30pm
And then again it would close from 6.30pm until 9.pm tonight.
Thats fine I thought, I can swim anytime between 2.30 and 6.30. I planned my day accordingly.
Mrs Fester, knowing how unreliable they are, (and worried about my stress levels) actually drove to the pool, went in to the reception and double checked this information. Yep, it was all systems go for me today, from 2.30pm.
So, at 3.30pm I sauntered in, with my gym kit and swimming stuff tucked in my bag... and proferred my membership card.
'Gym and Swim please!'' I proudly declared.
BUT NO! OOH NO, its not that easy is it!
''Sorry, the pool closes at 3.45pm'' came the reply!
I said ''Whoa there, hang on a minute.... I've double checked this today... and was told it re-opened at 2.30pm for public swim''.
''It did'', came the reply.... ''but then it closes to the public at 3.45pm'' ...as always!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
:weeping: :weeping: :weeping:
I am heartily sick of unreliable information and people... and I am heartily sick as a council tax payer of being excluded from the facilities that I pay for, every time that I want to use them.
Admittedly, this council gym and pool is much cheaper than a private gym, but pro rata, if I can rarely use it, (and the gym is a pathetic afterthought) ... then its actually a waste of money. GRRRR.
