The main item of interest was a new array of small locking boxes attached to the wall. The purpose was puzzling until it was suggested (me, again, sorry) that they were either gerbil or hamster boxes – somewhere to place your favourite pet while having a swim. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the surreal can become the norm.
One point of difficulty pointed out was that though the boxes were nicely locked, each with a key, there was nowhere to store the key. This was taken by acclamation as a further demonstration of the famous locksmith’s conundrum – if you ask a locksmith where to keep a key safe, he can only supply you with another lock together with an accompanying key. In our case that would imply that we could have swimming suits with lockable sections to keep keys in, and such section with its own key which could be kept, no doubt, in a locked box on the wall.
All this and a fly swim as well.
