Skip Dipping with a difference!
Be honest, when I wrote in Mondays skip hire blog entry about a skip that’s a swimming pool, you didn’t believe me did you? Well here’s the proof and an intro from its creator Oliver Bishop-Young…
“I saw a TV advert in 1995 depicting a whole street throwing their ‘chintz’ furniture into a skip. The image revealed the potential for a skip to become a point of both material and experiential exchange within the community. From then on I submerged myself in the affairs of skips”.
Submerged is definitely the right word, it’s amazing what you can do with a hose and some damp proof membrane. Passers-by were said to be amazed at the sight of someone floating in a skip and who can blame them?!
As Oliver says “A Converted skip is a great tool for bringing the community together. And, after a long hot day, how good it is to plunge into your very own pool”.
Well, it certainly puts a new spin on the term Skip Diving!
