No Black Widows here and Huntsmen aint dangerous they just look really nasty
Saying that part of dewinterising the pool involved spraying the entire area with 'contact spray' in an attempt to keep the area free from Red Backs
Tho in reality having young kids and a pool is far more of a risk than any creepy crawlies you might meet ..... Constant Vigilance !!!
If you are coming out here what you really need to watch out for are the Drop Bears evil little fekkers that have a liking for pommie flesh

you must have pool heating then - cos ours is just 23 degrees - a bit too cold yet.
Last week the pool turned green - so i've been learning about pool chemicals and cleaning.
much better now.

Yup solar - put it in 3 years ago it can get the water to about 35 in full summer if we run it flat out
Sorry I seemed to have hijacked this thread,
Any way you were telling us about the gritters

Is there any way we can block postings from smug Ausssie tossers and their feckin' swimmin' pool stories - I've just gunned it up the M4 - minus Chrsit knows what with self-induced wind chill - both thumbs are without any feeling at all and di*k has taken up residence somewhere near my pancreas.
Oh..some nice lady has just brought me a hot cuppa tea...cheers pet...

What the *uck is a Drop Bear? Can't be all bad if they like pommie flesh
Er....back to the original post and surely it was good that they were out a'grittin ??
Us bike riders would have been the first to moan if they hadn't and one of us was posting about sliding down the road on our arses after they didn't grit on a night that they were forecasting frost!
I imagine being a manager in charge of that sort of thing is a real damned if you do damned if you don't jobs.....
