Dear Lambeth Council...

Dear Lambeth Council,

I am writing with reference to the following statement contained on
your website, which I came across while searching for a municipal
swimming pool in the borough:

We are committed to the provision and development of sport and
recreation. There are four leisure centres and a community sports
centre in the borough, and facilities in our parks and green spaces. We
also run a healthy lifestyles programme.

Upon further investigation (ie. clicking on the link to 'Clapham
Leisure Centre') I found the following website:

http://www.leisureconnection.co.uk
Another great offer to help you make 2006 your healthiest year ever
There are thousands of reasons to join Harpers Fitness and now you can
try us for 7 days for just £7

In fact if exercise came in a pill, it would be the most cost effective
medicine in the world today!

Contact your local Leisure Connection facility to find out how you can
start a healthier lifestyle.

It turns out that there are no public leisure facilities in my borough
whatsoever, merely some expensive private gyms which benefit from a
huge amount of public money!

Whoever is responsible for this state of affairs should be burnt.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Willmsen

ps. I am neither a nutter nor in any way less than 100% serious.
