Is that hot enough to bathe in?

[Canary42]

I would think so

[Tilly2]

Will my soap lather?

[Canary42]

Only if you've got a few tons of it :-D

[Tilly2]

20 Celsius is about 68 Fahrenheit.

//Experts have recommended that the ideal bath temperature should only be a few degrees higher than normal body temperature. Thus, the best temperature is estimated to be between 98 degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.?//

So, quite chilly in The Solent then. My soap won't lather.

This thread reminds me of a postcard that i saw at Skegness whilst on holiday when I was a child.

It was of a big fat obese woman in a Union Jack swimsuit up to her knees in the sea and the caption read:

"Come on in, the deeper you go the nicer it feels"

I guess the water is fine - once you have discounted all the oil, plastic, schit and the rest sitting there in the Solent.

I just googled this query and one result says :-

"The following benchmarks are a good reference point: Competitive swimming pools: 24°C-27°C. Public swimming pools: 26°C-28°C. Private swimming pools: 26°C-30°C

24C = 75.2 F
26C = 78.8 F
28c = 82.4 F
30C = 86 F

As a child, did you understand the double entendre, Sqad?

Tilley...aged 10 years I wasn't quite sure, but I think I understand it now ;-)

[Tilly2]

Well, it obviously stuck in your mind!

There's a wonderful little museum in Ryde (Isle of Wight) dedicated to the postcards of Donald McGill.

In addition to the vast collection of "naughty postcards" which I spent ages browsing when I visited there a few years ago, there are other examples of his work including some fascinating wartime propaganda examples.

I recommend a visit whenever you're out that way.
