Threats in the bar

Late in the evening of the 8th, Neill decided to have a quiet drink in the bar and was confronted by a disgruntled holiday maker complaining about the topic of the season, the pool. It was suggested that Neill had deliberately delayed the opening because "he didn't want to go ahead with the rebuilding of the pool anyway". This remark came from a not very helpful owner and is totally unfounded. Why did Neill go to such lengths to negotiate payment considering the state of the bank balance? All the odds have been stacked against him The adverse weather in May wasn't a good start and to discover other problems with the pumps and filters only detected after water was put in the pool, understandably creates frustration. It has caused disappointment to some to find that the pool has not been finished in time but if the finger of blame has to be pointed it must look towards the years of neglectful maintenance. Neill should be congratulated not only for his excellent negotiation skills but his patience, not threatened by a person who only visits for two weeks each year.
