Poole used to charge anyone over 60 not working the senior citizen fee, but since they had to give men over 60 half price bus travel cards, they've put the sc charge for classes back up to 65 for men. Bournemouth has it still at 60 for both sexes.
Poole won't run a class if there are less than 12 people in it. Bournemouth gives the choice of either closing the class or doing less than 2 hours per week (the reduction depending on how many there are in the class), and the teacher takes proportionately less pay. As for dolphins, they are seen in Poole bay, which covers the Bournemouth coast to the east as well (really annoys people from Poole when it's called Bournemouth Bay) and then warnings go out to the idiots who try to swim with them that dolphins can be dangerous, but it doesn't stop them. The Dolphin Shopping Centre was called the Arndale, and some of the older residents still call it that. There's no wooden turtle any more. They've also renamed Poole Arts Centre the 'Lighthouse'. Why, I don't know - there's no light on it, and it can't be seen from the harbour, but presumably someone thought it was a good idea. The town slogan has also been change from "Poole it's a beautiful place" (whoever coined that is in desperate need of seeing an optician), to "Poole, it's all happening" to try and attract the younger clubbers instead of the coach trips of pensioners visiting Poole Pottery.
