My cycle ride home from work gives me several opportunities to get wet in the fountains of London. Here are a few observations based on my experiences. I'd be interested in your thoughts!:
1. London is not great for fountains. There's just not that many of them that are acceptable for anyone, even kids, to go in. The ones I occasionally visit are: - Somerset House - Appearing Rooms on the South Bank - The fountain and pool at Marble Arch - The new fountains at Granary Square, Kings Cross 2. The dancing fountains at Granary Square and Somerset House, are nearly always set to a dismally low level. 3. Mostly, only kids will go in the fountains. To get adults in, it either needs to be exceptionally hot and sunny, and even then, very few go in, or it needs to be in the middle of the evening, dark, and warm, so the drunk crowd go in! 4. Even when its hot and sunny, it seems to be the case that adults will only get wet if goaded or even pushed by friends. The occasional person will go in almost to show off to their mates. A loner like me getting wet in these fountains, is very rare. 5. That said, there will ALWAYS be a few loner men, hanging round the edge, watching. I used to think they were closet wetlook fans, hoping and waiting for the opportunity to go in, weighing in their minds the desire to get wet with the self consciousness of being observed doing so. However, I now suspect that a good proportion of them are actually paedophiles, getting off on the kids who invariably strip to their underwear to get wet. Which, if true, is really sad.
What do you think?
