The story is also in the Telegraph (a more serious newspaper than the Mirror I guess):

I pity that woman and the facility that (apparently) sent the british servicemen away. :shakeshead:
Last Monday I helped the lifeguard help out of the pool where I swim a partially abled guy with some physical defects. I was really pleased I could give a hand and thought "what a guy, he's giving it all he can!"
We really are creatures of habit as Paul and others have said, but fortunately most everyone I meet is accepting and will accomodating. (Certainly more than the drivers on the road after swims!)
