Update: when they did re-open the pool, everyone just stood around looking at each other. No one wanted to be first. Then some smashed brit just cannon balled...poo induced paralysis resolved!
The wife asked when it would re-open, which led me to Google. Internet says a solid can be open as quick as 30 mins, a slopster upto 12 hrs. Not sure how we landed on 3hrs. But it involved upping the chlorine for a period of time. Let's see how i feel tomorrow.
Health and Safety Chazz. Its out of control. They did scoop it out, I seen the scoop, not the brown fish! But then went through a 3hr charade. The cynical side of me thinks they did it to punish to full English trothing brits. Who knows.
