Businesswoman and teacher Caroline Farish says it feels like she was treated like an “animal”, as she reportedly found herself banned from her gym after 10 years of training at the same facility. The 36-year-old woman unintentionally broke glass next to a hot tub at Bannatyne Health Club in Dumfries, Scotland. That one accident, she said, had her decade-long gym subscription cancelled, leading to her being banned from the sports facility.

She was on her way to the hot tub when her plastic water bottle with a glass nozzle fell and shattered, requiring management to drain and refill the pool.

Caroline has also been ordered to pay £1,000 for draining and cleaning the pool by the health facility, owned by former Dragons’ Den star Duncan Bannatyne.

She told the Daily Record: “It was a complete accident and happened when I was with a friend and heading for the jacuzzi. It was nowhere near the pool.

“I immediately told the manager and staff who hoovered it up. It happened at night and there were only a few other people around.”

She added: “I could easily have left it to be cleaned up but I was honest and told them.”

Despite her honesty, she was forced to pay £1,000 for repairs.

She added: “But then I got a letter from Bannatyne’s giving me seven days to put in a statement of what happened.

“I did that but have had no acknowledgement, only a letter saying I am banned from life from the premises and the car park plus they want me to pay £1,000 for the draining and cleaning of the pool which they said was closed for eight days.”
