MIXED BATHING SIR."—Hurrah for Leslie Adrian! It was high time

that someone protested at the LCCs Victorian prudery about mixed bathing at the Highgate swimming are one of the statistician's typical

pools.w e

i.e. about half of us are female. The result of the segregation is that we and our family troop off to Finchley where for over thirty years the council has bravely defied the embattled Mrs. Grundys of North London and allowed mixed bathing. Perhaps the GLC, despite its Labour majority, may at last be persuaded to let husbands and wives swim together at Highgate.
