Just out of curiosity, are you related to Norman Vaughan, by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daoyai Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 First there was one now three of them, I believe you can use as an exercize bike and power a pump to activate a fountain, the harder you pedal the higher the fountain. Yet to see anyone doing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to see anyone doing it though. I have to agree. I've seen similar exercise bikes in other parks. I didn't know about the fountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinHunt Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Where on the moat are these.Id like to take a look. The bit where he says 'outside the park' is a clue. The building in the background is the mental hospital. Is it all coming back now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pond Life Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 KH, you are so helpful. Do you think everyone on this thread lives in CM. or knows it intimately. However the nut house narrows it down a bit. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the nut house narrows it down a bit. Thanks No, but if you know that there's a moat and that these things are outside the park, then that narrows it down enough for most of us. You didn't stop taking the tablets when you started to feel better, did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
