Reminds me of a childhood story about my BiL; at the swimming pool, he said to his mother that he needed to go to toilet, realising it was a #1, she whispered conspirationally in his ear "Go in the pool". So off goes BiL stands right at the side of the pool, get's his cob out and has a pee. Must have been confusing being simultaneously shouted at by his mother and being thrown out of the pool.

I think I preferred when they put dye in the pool that reacted with urine. The issue was the kids used to compete to see who could make the longest trail.....

Well I'm glad he was right - would be far more worrying if peeing in the pool could cause outbreaks of weils disease or something!

(I think you should add a pitp poll)

yes. but the bit it comes out of is not sterile.

But then I suspect you feel the same about ladies in wet suits feeding one sardines in the bath.

If he actually swam any sort of distance then fine. but he doesn't go far. Back in the good old days when I swam my iron man <following sentence removed in case the reader should slit their throat with boredom>

Neither is the crack of your arse but its in the water anyway!

Urban myth. No such dye exists.
