‘Ridiculous’ criticism of swimming pool

I FIND some of the comments quite ridiculous regarding the glass windows of the new Hexham swimming pool (Courant, September 19).

Clear view: There have been complaints that the pool area can be easily seen from outside.

Yes, it is possible for those determined enough to watch people swimming. Some of these could even go a step further and actually enter the premises, buy a drink and watch from the cafe.

And, wait for this, they could even pay at reception and actually enter the pool, ostensibly going for a swim.

For goodness sake, stop being so paranoid and enjoy the new pool for what it is – much better than the old one and with much better natural daylight from the big windows.

Oh and to Mr Ferries, who ‘will not allow’ his wife to go swimming for risk of being seen in a swimming costume – perhaps that should be her choice!

Chef John Crouch says we should forage our food from nature. Would you ever do that?

Yes, it would be fresh and healthy

No, I don't have the time so I'll stick to my tins and processed stuff

Maybe, if I could find the time to go and find it
