Camden New Journal - Letters to the Editor
Published: 10 January 2008
 
Deep trouble after going to watch the Pond ladies

SEASON of goodwill to all men?
Not if the good ladies of the Kenwood Ladies Bathing Pond are anything to go by! After being reliably informed by a trusted lifeguard on New Year’s Day that it was fine to visit the “ladies” as was traditional, to watch fellow swimmers of the opposite sex take a dip, I didn’t get more than 50 yards before being rounded up and practicaly frog-marched out of the premises. I and a couple of other brave “males” were indeed lucky to escape with just minor verbal abuse!
Just a week or two before, the women ­visited the Men’s Pond practicaly every day for almost a week and were always welcomed.
Come on ladies, try to reciprocate now and again in the future with good grace.
On the funny side, a woman in the enclosure was heard to say “There’s a man over there” to which another women responded “It’s all right, it’s being dealt with.”
Enough said.
