February 1, 2008: Playground

Old people have been taking their grandchildren to the playground, for evah.
Now in Manchester, England, kids are taking their grandparents to the playground.

From the Daily Mail.

Instead of slides and roundabouts, it is equipped with machines specially designed to provide gentle exercise for different parts of the body such as hips, legs and torso.

The Massage offers upper body exercise, the Skate trains leg muscles, the Ski works the hips, while the Press tones the stomach and legs.

There are also stations for pull-ups, push-ups and pedalling and, to stretch the mind as well as the body, engravings of quotes from famous philosophers dotted around the park.

So come on kid, take grandma, or should I say grandmum, to the playground, and maybe you'll run into that 9 year old tart from school.
