Old vs new!

Headed into Bath this morning, with a list of errands to run. In the first shop I received exemplary customer service, whereas in the second shop I received the complete opposite, from the Manageress! Feeling very jaded by my second experience, I gave up on my morning in town, and headed for the bus, remembering just in time to stop and take my blip for the day. Unfortunately, pausing just for those couple of seconds, meant that I arrived at the bus stop to watch my bus drive away into the distance. By this stage, my mood was as grey and dismal as the weather was...

On the left of the shot, you can see the new Thermae Bath Spa building, complete with its open-air rooftop swimming pool.

"Thermae Bath Spa is a combination of the historic spa and a contemporary building..., and re-opened in 2006. Bath and North East Somerset Council own the buildings, and, as decreed in a Royal Charter of 1590, are the guardians of the spring waters, which are the only naturally hot, mineral-rich waters in the UK."

On the right, you can see The Cross Bath, "an historic pool for bathing. It was rebuilt, in the style of Robert Adam by Thomas Baldwin around 1789. It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building." Wikipedia

So would you prefer to go for a dip in the old or the new? In case you're wondering, I haven't visited either!
