When we were younger
there was a new leisure centre built down by Aberdeen beach - circa 88-89 I think??? It had a top of the range fun pool with water cannons, water guns, rapids 3 varieties of flume and ...... THE WAVE MACHINE!!!

The horror that was the wave machine was situated at the deep end of the pool behind a dark and foreboding grate under the water. The Grate was easily 5 ft. high and at least 20+ ft. wide - might have been smaller, i was young then ;)

Because it's dark, because theres a hugh grate, because there is a huge machine behind it there was only one thing to deduce ... SHARKS LIVE THERE!!!! I'd go nowhere near this grate for fear of getting my foot stuck and draged in and shredded by the sharks. I am so petrified of sharks, especially the most harmless one - the basking shark. Have you seen the size of gob that creature has on it. I think I have every right to shit myself.
