Why have energy costs actually gone up?
Saw an item on uk news about dire straights of swimming pools. Costs of water, chemicals and heating have gone up dramatically. The end result will no doubt be more closures - maybe even a half. So an unexpected consequence will be lower health rates, more drownings in years to come from folk who never learned to swim.
In the 80’s I used to go once a week to the fabulous Victorian Erdington baths. Great memories. Scarborough doesn’t even have any public baths/ swimming pools any more . Only the place that costs something like £80 for a family to get in for the day
