Row Over Crematorium Heating For Swimmers




        Moves to warm a swimming pool with heat generated by an adjacent crematorium have sparked outrage.

Roger McKenzie, Unison's West Midlands regional secretary, said: "It goes to show yet again that the Conservatives know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I thought you were into recyling on these boards. Waste not, want not. I wouldn't mind warming up the pies at dinner time for the crematorium staff.

I cannot see the point of wasting good heat.

Well, when my day comes to be cremated, I would be quite happy to be used to heat a swimming pool rather than just generate CO2 uselessly.

I can see why some people wouldn't want to swim in the pool but they need to wake up and smell the exhaust gas from the facility next door.

cremation actually takes a lot of gas!! ( it's why they now wait 'til they've got a few to burn at once, saves gas)

Haha, people go for a swim in a pool with bits of skin, poo, spit and piss floating around in it and they're worried about where the heat comes from.  ::)  ::)

On the one hand, why waste good heat?

On the other, I always swim faster in a cold pool in a bid to keep warm, therefore burning more calories & staying (hopefully) healthier and costing the nhs less therefore saving money  ;D

I think it is a good idea, but would rather they didn't tell me where the heat comes from.  Take a child swimming, it is lovely and warm in the training pool.  I like it hot, but agree in the main pool it is normally cooler and one has to swim like mad.  The showers are lovely and hot in my local pool.

I think if it is to recycle and save then the council should offer the ashes to folks with lotties instead of sprinkling it in their own lawns.. well fair is fair.
