So I'm at my local pool last night, and there's an older, British lady, salt of the Earth type, doing a kickboard workout sharing the lane and we have a brief exchange as the pool is a little crowded, so we can't have a lane to ourselves.

Kwilena: "So I think if we just stick to our own sides we'll be ok, if you're good with that."
British Lady: "Yes, that'll be fine."
Kwilena: "And if my tail gets in your way, just let me know."
British Lady: "Oh my love, if you'd seen the tails I've had in my way during my life, you wouldn't worry at all!"
Kwilena: *pause* "They... probably weren't as pretty a tails though." (I'm wearing the new Hawaiian rainbow skin from Suntails)
British Lady: With great emphasis. "No, you're absolutely right there!"
