I had taken ds swimming at our local pool. The changing rooms are communal and mixed sex with rows and rows of cubicles. Anyway, I'd got ds dry and dressed, just dropped my towel to dress myself and lo and behold a face pops up over the top of my cubicle and takes a picture with a camera phone [cross]

I was totally naked. So he got a bloomin good picture

I was so gobsmacked I just sttod there glued to the spot, then adrenaline kicked in a and I grabbed my towel, took ds by the hand and charged round the changing rooms like a mad woman trying to find him, which of course I couldn't.

I told the manager who has reported it to the police and they are coming to talk to me tomorrow.

What a b**tard

Police came to see me today - they are taking this very seriously. They asked me waht I was wearing in the pool. How odd.

sorry wrong norther

JessaJam · 01/08/2006 15:39

They aske dyou what you were wearing in the pool????
so, if it was a hot pink thong bikini they will take no further cation, but if it was a brown one-piece they'll go to Crimewatch???

Or, no, being sensible now...was it so they could ID you on the CCTV so they could see if anyone was watching you aroudn the poola nd following you into changing rooms...

NotAnOtter · 01/08/2006 15:40

jeez northerner

FoghornLeghorn · 01/08/2006 15:43

Northerner am absolutely , can't believe this. And you certainly don't expect it in a quiet little place like Harrogate.
I hope you manage to find out who it was and it becomes common knowledge who he is.
ARSEHOLE !

What a dirty Bas**rd! I have never come accross mixed changing rooms and personally would feel uncomfortable using one. Our local pool has seperate sex ones plus a family change room which we use if all going togeteher at the weekend.
I hope they catch the pervert soon.

groggymama · 01/08/2006 15:52

sorry that this happened to you, Northerner, it'll make me think twice before going swimming. What an arsehole, hope they catch him and kick him in the nuts

But we now have a problem (cos our pool doesn't have family changing) as DH can't take DD any more as at 8 she can't be in the mens

& we can't let her in the ladies by herself - the pool won't let us

I work very F/T so DD can't go swimming during the holidays

NettoFabulous · 01/08/2006 16:50

Young lads do this though, don't they? Even girls try to seak a peek as a giggly thing. Camera phones just make it worse.

In mixed changing rooms, they should build the cubicle walls up to the ceiling. Obvious, really, I wonder why they don't?

LOL at the CCTV camera. So that would be film of everyone getting changed to make sure no-one takes pics of anyone getting changed?

Tutter · 01/08/2006 16:51

shit northerner hope he gets what he deserves

Yeah young lads do this, and if it had been youngsters larking around it wouldn't be so bad.

But I think it was a man who hadn't even been swimming.

The CCTV is of the publi areas and car park btw, not the actual changing rooms.

God that is horrible, how bloody creepy are some people. Mind you their are whiole websites dedicatyed to this kind of shit so I don't know why I am so

I think that mixed changing rooms are the best way to have them because soemtimes it does leave you a bit stuck when kids hit 8, 10 or 12 whatever age it is, but like Netto said why not just build the bloody wall all the way up and make it impossible for this to happen.

Kin 'ell Northerner, just seen this - that's appalling! Was that the Hydro? I was there on Sunday. Mind you, if they'd seen me naked, they'd have been stood laughing for so long, I'd have been able to punch them.

Seriously, not sure what can be done about stopping this sort of thing, but hope they catch the little gimp.

lionheart · 01/08/2006 18:13

Hope you feel better Northerner, but yes, I'm afraid some people do like to watch other people who don't know they are being watched. There are hundreds of web-sites showing (usually) women in chnaging rooms, showers, toilets etc, some staged, some probably not.

Mascaraohara · 01/08/2006 18:16

blimey, that's awful!

for you northerner

donnie · 01/08/2006 18:17

this is awful Northerner - really sorry it happened. Let's hope the police make some headway. This guy sounds like he is stupid and amateurish enough to toget caught.

Any news of any action being taken - by police or the pool? Selfish I know, but I was planning on going tomorrow with boys but it's put me right off going there too!
