1. The little lass invented a wonderful new game: two or more people put their heads underwater and then one of them shouts as loud as they can. It is just about possible to understand what that person is saying if you are only a few inches away from him or her. I wouldn't describe it as 'hours of fun' but it's certainly 'seconds of fun'.
2. There is a solemn black and white notice next to the ticket desk, which says something like: "For your privacy and security, photography is not allowed in the swimming pool area. If you wish to take photographs, please speak to a member of staff to arrange a suitable time. All unauthorised photographic equipment will be confiscated."
Right above that is a big yellow sign which says something like: "For your comfort and security, the swimming pool area is under CCTV surveillance"
What have we wrought in the UK?

They could be going down the same road as the government of Malawi who crmininalised farting wee hear, and preparing to prosecute people for farting in the pool.
That's awesome. Maybe those who can't find a suitable time for taking photographs that works them can get a still shot from the security cam for the family photo album.
So they will be confiscating everyones mobile phone on entry ?
IRT, that Malawi thing is a misunderstanding.
K, exactly. Or at least you tell them that the people in the picture are your family.
B, no of course not.
I'm interested in the idea of a local authority employee having the right to confiscate property. Really? Under what level of duress? And how does it differ from theft?
I suppose given the surroundings, waterboarding might be on the cards....
Oh well. What a strange world we live in.
All I can say to that is just what the hell!?
What are they gonna do next, cart you off to a little dark room with just a lamp, shine the bulb right in your eyes and scream at you "who you gathering intel for? who's planning on suicide bombing our pool!!?"
SW, no, they just put you on The Register.
