MargieH 7,599 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Blackie, your mention of the Clinic in Arnold Park reminded me of going there for a polio injection (not an impregnated sugar lump - that was introduced later) when I was about 16. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
broxtowelad 175 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 #25 Before I worked there, I hope. We got through plenty of Sodium Hypochlorite scrubbing the pool decks and changing cubicles and scouring powder in the slipper baths. It weren't long before a new pair of jeans were white up to mi knees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 # 25. I had 8 verrucas at the same time, picked up at Arnold Baths. I don't think it can have been on broxtowelad's shift, Lizzie! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Verrucas have hijacked the 'British School' thread, LOL. Unlike BilboroughShirley I loved swimming and wore some white rubbery socks to swim in til the damn things disappeared. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 What a load of cissies, verucas an all. Where we came from we went to Northern Swimming Baths & Noel Street Baths & in the summer it was Bulwell Lido. No verucas for us, we weren't cleaner, just tougher !!

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Noel St baths all the lido's never got a verruca, we weren't clean enough for the germs to land on 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
