    I would agree! I would love to go swimming but there aren't pools around where I live. But it's the sort of thing a council will build and then 10 years later say 'We can't afford it now' cause they cost more to keep than you get in.

    So it is true they are built together but you can't think of any? Any other things you have no idea of and haven't seen but just know there are some? Shape-shiftingbaliens perhaps?

    The only ice skating rinks I have been to were nowhere near a swimming pool.

    So I will continue to think it is not a common practice in the absence of any examples.

    Question: What can make both ice and heat and reduce Michigan Technological University’s carbon footprint while doing so?

    Answer: Michigan Tech’s new ice-making system at the John J. MacInnes Student Ice Arena. The ammonia brine-based system not only makes ice for the hockey rink, it heats the rink’s sub-floor, preventing frost from forming under the insulated concrete slab. Heat generated as the ammonia is compressed to be used as a refrigerant heats 100 percent of the hot water used in the arena and maintains a comfortable water temperature for the nearby swimming pool and dive tank.

    http://www.mtu.edu/news/stories/2013/january/michigan-tech-ice-rink-goes-green.html

    The system is in use in the Link Centre Ice Arena in Swindon and the Lammas Leisure Centre in Sutton-In-Ashfield and almost certainly others which you could google for yourself.

    Sounds a bit different to Geraghty's take on it.<laugh> A different system, which seems to kill two birds with one stone but it appears it isn't widely used.

    Why has the HDM got a photo of fireworks going off over the Humber Bridge to illustrate the article?

    Ive been away the last two days and forgot to try and get tickets for NYE on the bridge fireworks.. Ive just looked and the first 'wave' of 25,000 have been snapped up with more going on release on Saturday... Where the heck are they going to put 25,000 people in viewing distance lets alone more ...

    Stayed at Bisham Abbey near Marlow... where many of the Olympians train. What an amazing set up. Theres also the FAB Academy there. Sat having breakfast I wondered how many of the young wannabes would make it and we'd come to know.

    Streatham Hub in south London contains not only a supermarket, apartments and a bus station, but a first-floor ice rink above a heated pool.( 2012).

    It was the Pride of Hull, Gaylord.


    EDIT: & I'd quoted the wrong post. Ha ha. I should have made a typo & diverted attention.
