Maybe not quite as agressive as she has experienced, but definitely some ego bruised moments, being forced to wait whilst slowly overtaken or just starting their swim just ahead of me when I'm already in the pool presuming they will swim faster than me...then not actually swimming faster, but refusing to wait.. even when its blindingly obvious....gawd love em...im sure many women and other men have a similar story...

Can't relate as I'm a man but vast majority of men would find this behaviour as bemusing and shocking as you and the article writer. Leisure centres and especially pools should be safe for everyone and staff should be empowered to ban people who are aggressive and threatening, regardless of gender.

    • Labour was right not to increase fuel duty - it's not just motorists it affects, but goods transport. Fuel goes up, inflation goes up. Inflation will go up now anyway, and growth will stagnate, because businesses will pass the employee NIC hikes onto customers.  I think farms should be exempt from the 20% IHT. I don't know any rich famers, only ones who work their fingers to the bone. But it's in their blood and taking that, often multi-generation, legacy out of the family is heart-breaking. Many work to such low yields, and yet they'll often still bring a lamb to the vet, even if the fees are more than the lamb's life (or death) is worth. Food security should be made a top priority in this country. And, even tho the tax is only for farms over £1m, that's probably not much when you add it all up. I think every incentive should be given to young people who want to take up the mantle.
