Pants and the pond
• ROBERT Sutherland Smith of the United Swimmers Association does seem to have got his proverbial knickers in a twist about Michael Peacock’s modest proposals to increase the area at the men’s pond where others may divest themselves of theirs (Swimming is healthier than baking in the sun, June 11).
In his missive he uses the word “gay” no less than six times; it’s as if the partition represents a kind of sexual orientation apartheid.
As a regular visitor, I concede that the majority on that side “will never marry” but that’s not the case entirely.
I felt the undertone of the letter was quite pejorative.
