I can understand why the Public restrooms and the sewer go together, but how does the lifeguard station fit in?

I have no idea LIL! That was the way the article came in!

The H2G2 Waterworks
Many of you post readers may well have gone to the
H2G2 Waterworks and beach. Maybe
you've got a doughnut from Joanna's
stall, or maybe just strolled through the many forums.
Well, now there's been a change to the waterworks - it has
branched out.
Before, all the waterworks features were contained
within one article, the H2G2 Waterworks and
Beach. Now, though, in order to be more helpful to
The World of H2G2 they are split into
many different articles.
The beach is still where it always
was, but now there are seperate articles for the Swimming Pool, where E. Vibenstein is selling
ice-creams Fountain, Sewers, Public Toilets,
Lifeguard Station and the River. So feel free to go along, and enjoy
the wonders of water!

Apologies then BB!
Pastey *lost* the article for a while... I think it arrived just in time to coincide with his wedding.
I must admit that I changed the coding a little to make it more reader friendly, but obviously did not take as much time over it as maybe I should have done!

Incidentally, Bluebottle, do the lifeguards only work at the beach, or do they run an EMT service for h2g2 generally? A researcher plunged out of a rift in time-space the other day and cold-cocked himself with my veranda. We put him to bed (after a while) and we plied him with tea until he disappeared again, but at the time we were discussing the problem of who to call.
Have you been on holiday? Nothing heard from you for quite a while.

The lifeguards seem to only work around parts of the Waterworks, so that includes the beach, pool, fountain, river and fish pond. There's no reason why they can't expand to other parts of h2g2, though.

Well, we find since the regrettable poisoning of Demon Drawer that there is an emergency center and ICU, so all we need now is someone we can call to send the EMT and get the victim to hospital.
