Title: Swimming Pool
Post by: rcutler on May 16, 2004, 09:25:55 pm

I was shopping for a Gazebo today and stumbled across a swimming pool with filter for £60.

The box was deceptive though as I could not see any dimensions of the pool but the picture made it look like a 6 meter pool. It was one of the inflatable types.

I saw it in a PoundStrecher shop in Newbury today (I know I bury my head in shame).

Got a 4m Hexagonal Gazebo for £45 all the sides included with gy-lines and pegs. Green or white (cloth type)

One thing to watch out for on gazebos is the gy ropes and pegs being crap. several years ago ours nearly blew away so the next year we added longer gy ropes and bigger pegs, no blowing off problems since!

I prefer Pound Shops. Great fun can be had by brousing around the aisles and tormenting the dimwitted assistant thus:

"How much is this?"
"A pound sir"
"Oh okay. Hmmm. So how much is that?"
"A pound sir, everything is a pound"
"Right. And how much is this thing?"
"A pound! Everything in the shop is a pound!! ONE POUND! Get it??"
"Oh right, I see. Urm, how many of these do you get for a pound?".... etc.
