Let Them Eat Cake...

They should think about refilling the pool with coffee...
There are some loose tiles in the pool and the talk is that it'll have to be emptied for the Aquatic Centre to re-do the tiling. Maybe if they filled the pool back up with coffee, the smell of it would bring out the superhero in all of us...
