[Sir Trev]

The local Lido has quietly changed its opening hours. Lady Poppy and I cycled down there this afternoon for a swim (it's about two miles away) only to find they're now closed between 2 and 5:30. "Most of the lifeguards are uni students so we've only got a few available right now" said the helpful counter staff. Wycombe has its own uni so surely there will be just as many students about who would make just as good lifeguards, said I. Yes but they only start their term next week or the week after so they're not around yet. Well surely that means the home-grown ones have not left the area yet... I give up. Basically we just cycled home again as even the cafe on the park next door was closed, despite there being dozens of people about in the nice warm weather. Opportunity lost by both businesses there.
