The accident happened in St... [more]

Big toe stuck in the drain...lol
I remember this paddling pool so well, when I was about 8 years old I would be there with my nana {in fact in looks like me in the pic}. She would sit on the bench in the pic and eat her rich tea biscuits. I begged her to let me swim every time we were there, I would mostly paddle... [more]

Not something that would happen today with any degree of safety, a gentleman poses for the camera in the middle of the street.
