Hugh: There's even-- there's even-- even talk of them closing Maybole swimming pool now. They close that, where do the kids from here go for a swim, Ayr? It's the closest swimming pool. Or Girvan, the other way, which is further.

Hugh: They're talking about closing Maybole.
Interviewer: Why? 'Cause nobody's going?
Hugh: I don't know. No idea.
