I presume any quiet spot will suffice, but be warned there have been a
number of deaths due to people swimming in the rivers, the last one last
Sunday. The water is very cold and people often get cramp, then lungsful
of water, then a body bag.

Plausible but don't I recall seeing a "Horizon" (when it was a decent
program), and an OW program that says its the cold shock that can kill
you - that most people didn't actually get time to drown properly but
died from the heart attack they had at the same time ?

The death was by a love struck male who was told by his partner of 2 weeks
"If he crossed the River Trent, she would marry him". The Trent is a killer
and it isnt the cold but the tides and currents within that lead to death.
There have been others recently, Midnight swim in a reservoir in
Staffordshire = Death.
You may get more appropriate suggestions if you state your location within
the midlands, after all Newark is a long way from Welshpool and both are
"The Midlands".

LOL. An easy mistake to make though, you'll hear more Brummie in
Welshpool in August than Welsh that's for sure. Incidentally we live
about 5 miles from Welshpool as the crow flies but because we are the
English side of the border are regarded as being in the Midlands.
Certainly got far more affinity with Wales than Wolverhampton.

I've just read "The Perfect Storm" and in it are detailed body
functions whereby cold reduces oxygen requirements allowing people to
be resuscitated up to 45 minutes in water under ice.
Cold shock obviously takes different people in different ways, probably
dependent on how good their blood circulation is, but the heat absorbed
by the skin in a sauna is bound to offset any cold shock considerably.

It depends what definition you use. The OED defines the Midland counties of
England as 'the counties south of the Humber and Mersey and north of the
Thames, with the exception of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex,
Hertfordshire, Gloucestershire, and the counties bordering on Wales'. This
would exclude Shropshire (bordering on Wales). Nevertheless, the
Encyclopaedia Britannica includes Shropshire in its list of counties in the
west Midlands.
Going with the OED, you could say you live in 'the Marches'.

Call it what you want Steve, it's still the back of beyond.

Not that I expected you to take any notice whatsoever!!! <g> Shall we
call it "attention to detail" then?

Yes, but they still haven't worked out why they were never in the same
room at the same time.
