Fairy Dell is a seafront paddling pool in Skegness, Lincolnshire, England. The local district council's decision in 2004 to close it over health and safety fears prompted a wave of outrage from people both locally and elsewhere in the country and world, and after a long campaign by the press and town councillors and a public forum, the district council agreed to refurbish and reopen the facility by summer 2006.
Famous quotes containing the word fairy:
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
