I dunno 'the solution us currently used by xx Agris companies and yy Barge lines in corn cargoes in south-north flows in the ???? waterways' sounds like pure smut to me. I mean, seriously, it can't just be me and Roger-the-Saurus who knows what a 'corn cargo' is.

8 cow things.

And they made it leak, apparently.

It says the pool was leaking, and while I don't know anything about pool construction, I'm willing to bet that beneath the tiles is some sort of pond liner thing that keeps the water in.  It doesn't seem improbable that a cow thing falling in a pool could crack a tile and pierce the liner, and I bet that's a pig of a job to replace.  At company-that-sells-specialist-products-to-rich-people rates.

Deduct a few k for fencing and other damage.

That's not a very big pool for £70k.  Or is that what they cost?

It's possible the main "tank" of the pool is a liner of some sort or "box" (I've GRP ones) with the tiles just being a coping around the edges  . ... a buffalo would probably pierce either material.
