Greenwich Council wants to rename it "Royal Greenwich Lido".

If you tolerate this, then who knows what'll be next for a name change?

There's a petition against it here: wecallitcharltonlido.co.uk/

There's also talk of users getting more closely involved with the running of the lido, since the business plan for it seems to have gone awry, resulting in a plan to close it for the winter. There's more: charltonchampion.co.uk/2013/09/19/friends-of-charlton-lido-time-for-action/

According to local rag they've already done it. No consultation.

BTW the Fire Alarm went off at Charing Cross Station last night, and the announced called for 'Inspector Sands to the concourse please' What's occurring?

You're quite right. The signage is already up.

Inspector Sands is where he gets his user name from.

Got a good story. Trouble is I don't know whether it goes in the "needing to go" or this thread...

Please not, Soapy. I have to swim in there :-)
