The Strictly contestants who do are, after all, training five or six hours a day. Few can put that sort of time into jigging.<BR/><BR/>I can promise you better muscle tone, stronger bones, and better coordination. I can also promise you that for the few minutes of each dance, you cannot spare a single thought for the asses presently in office. <BR/><BR/>Even strong drink cannot do that unless you absorb enough to fall unconscious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-79222129441678540522009-02-10T13:55:00.000+00:002009-02-10T13:55:00.000+00:00As someone who very much enjoys swimming, but cann...As someone who very much enjoys swimming, but cannot stand dancing (although I would vigorously defend the rights of those who do enjoy this activity to continue doing so) I fully agree with you, 'Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells'. I would make this additional point, however, which is that many who swim enjoy doing so in rivers, lakes and other open water. Yet, far from encouraging this activity, the reaction by Nanny's prodnoses in the health and safety 'industry' not to mention those in local government, seems to be that open water swimming is on a par with paedophilia!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-76276948637033799732009-02-10T12:32:00.000+00:002009-02-10T12:32:00.000+00:00This government is hilarious!

So I would suggest the money to be lavished on a minority activity like dance would be better spent keeping open public pools and other leisure activities the public actually want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
