Hot Tubs

[mikey4444]

In an effort to calm everybody down, I would like to introduce a light-hearted new topic. Hope it works !

I have just seen an article in the Guardian that claims that 1 in 10 houses in the UK have a hot tub, rising to 1 in 5 in the West Midlands. This is according to a new survey, although they are not saying who commissioned the survey, who carried it out, and where the survey was done. But I expect it was somebody heavily involved in household plumbing.

1 in 10 sounds highly improbable but 1 in 5 sounds impossible !

Is there anybody on AB, living in a tower block anywhere in Britain, but especially the West Midlands who can have a quick look out their windows and give us some feedback please ?

Personally I stopped bathing with other people when I was 10 and my next down brother was 5, and have no great desire to start again.

Well he has a particular hatred for Weston- Super- Mare so I think he'd find it quite ironic. xx

"I live in the west midlands and I dont know anyone with a hot tub"

Hurrah! :-)

Awful things...

[MadMen]

Wow. For someone who supposedly does yoga "every single day", he has a lot a lot of pent up negativity if he feels such "hatred" for a town....

LOL :)

Only half naked dave50 ? Of dear, you have just removed the only reason that I could think of that would change my mind about using one ! Isn't there any fun to had in your back garden these days ?

[Sharingan]

He just thinks it's everything ghastly about a town all rolled into one, I don't think he loses sleep over it, but look on the bright side Madmen, you'll never EVER be neighbours so you won't have to look at his tacky hot tub lol.

[MadMen]

Just out of interest, have you ever managed to get through a whole thread without the words "my father"...? lol :)

Anyway, best be off. I hope your whole day spent on Answerbank is contributing well to your education....

[mikey4444]

now now girls....play nicely !

(again)

[maggiebee]

What, they don't live in Edinburgh em10?

[Sharingan]

I'm not doing anything educational at the moment thanks Madmen, I can gear my hours to suit myself and do, and I've just come back from riding so I haven't been on here all day. Try to keep up or were you too buy checking out how many times a perfect stranger does Yoga? Do try to cheer up, you could always move to the Midlands where we have fun in our tubs xx

I always play nicely mike4444- I was just sharing a sisterly joke with Madmen ;-)

[society]

Mikey, the tub is getting hot. :)

[anneasquith]

lol....... sisterly joke :)

[mikey4444]

Ah... my apologies then ladies. The last thing I would ever want to do is to come between the Sisters ! As a mere man, I wouldn't stand a chance.

[Sharingan]

It's okay Mikey lol, I don't think she likes me very much xx

[mikey4444]

And I thought this was going to be a light-hearted discussion, unlike most others in the NEWS section this week.

Can I dare to sum up everybody's thoughts on the supposedly commonality of these bloody hot tubs, and that it just isn't true, ie 1 in 10 and 1 in 5 ?

[youngmafbog]

Neighbors have one but don't seem to use it, last lot before them were swingers.

Not a pretty sight sometimes.

[daffy654]

I can see right to the end of our street (10 houses) and none of them have hot tubs.

[joggerjayne]

1 in 5 seems highly unlikely.

I'd have one if I thought the balcony would take the weight.

Yes i know a couple of people with hot tubs and we're in the west mids. There is a place on the a5 that sells them, app it used to be a little garden centre, now its exclusively hot tubs and the owner is a rather happy chappy
