Definate health and safety issue here
When I was three or four, and i do remember this, i was at some swanky house that belonged to a friend of my aunts. This house was so swanky it had a swimming pool, complete with a plastic sheet cover thing to keep leaves and bird crap and small children out. Unfortunately, being an inquisitive child, I was naturally wonderous of this amazing, seemngly solid layer and wondered whether it'd be possible, if i ran really really fast, to get across it to the other side without getting wet. Needless to say, I got hopelessly entangled in the considerably flimsier than expected sheeting and nearly drowned. The only other person around was a distant cousin, aged around 8, who, despite the limitations of her age and of having similar genes to me, managed to pull off a daring rescue.

So thankyou, distant cousin whose name I have forgotten, I am eternally grateful for my life not being tragically cut short by a large plastic sheet
