I think you have all missed a trick here why not just fill the pools with lager???

Now that is what i call lateral thinking, you could then add ice for a cooling effect
hmmm you would then have to drink the beer before it gets to watered down

I have to admit the last couple of years the pools have been a god send and I suspect rescued a few people from the effects of heat exhaustion and sun stroke but hey ho if theres no water then thats that i suppose

 Just surfed in here to see if the ban applies to swimmingpools only, or little paddling pools as well.... and it seems that even a tiny paddling pool is going to be a problem  I understand they don't want people wasting thousends of liters of water for just a few days cooling down in large temporary swimmingpools. But if you're allowed to take a bath indoors, why not take a bath outdoors?  Maybe I can use my paddling pool as a basis for the shower we have at DfH, then people can take lots of showers, and offcourse we will be way to lazy to throw the water away afterwards

Hi ho Petra, hopefully the water police won't be turning down the pressure in the shower blocks - otherwise we'll all go back home stinking. Hang on ........... no change there then!

Water restrictions apply
In order to preserve the water reserves and apply the water restrictions currently in force, the use of temporary swimming pools will be forbidden during the week of the ’24 Heures du Mans’ on all of the sites and camping areas dedicated to the event. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
means. If I read this correctly, the ban is only imposed on the grounds dedicated to the 24 hours of Le Mans, because otherwise they will not be able to stay within certain limits during the week of the 24 hours race. This is something I can understand, but then ofcourse a paddling pool should be no problem. Let's just hope it's going to work out so that small paddling pools intended for use by children are going to be allowed. Please please please please please please  |
