If the earth does grow inhospitable toward human presence, it is primarily because we have lost our sense of courtesy toward the earth and its inhabitants.

Opening of Buxton Swimming pool?

But it's ok! Is'nt it?
Well I wrote the following entry a couple of weeks ago **With April 4th is just around the corner and [porthole] waits with baited breath to see if High Peak Borough Council (HPBC) can keep to their word and reopen the much delayed and greatly anticipated swimming pool in the Pavilion Gardens.

HPBC commented via their website that “a revitalized Buxton Swimming Pool will be handed back to the Borough Council on Monday, April 4, to be followed on Tuesday, April 26 by a state-of-the-art fitness gym: a first for the town.”**

Imagine [porthole’s] “surprise” when last Tuesday, the 15th HPBC announced at the Council Meeting that they had been informed by the Brown Construction Group that they would need a further month (no be fair, stop laughing) to finish the job (If you want a proper laugh take look at this case study published by Browns http://www.bcgl.co.uk/Case_Studies/Hotel_Leisure/cs_buxton_swimming_pool.php)

Words seldom fail me, but all I can come up with is what a FARCE!
