[Misc] Hosepipe advice.

[Notters]

Got ours from Aldi, all the connectors etc. are Hoselock compatible and it only cost about a tenner I think, can't complain.

Thanks for all the advice guys.
Have decided to go for a HozeLock expandable 100ft from Amazon
(yes thru the NSC link)

When you volunteered for the fire brigade did they ask you to bring your own hose?

We're thinking of purchasing a hosepipe.

Life's not that bad, is it?

I use beer hose. It lasts forever

We had a cheaper expandable and I could never stop it leaking at the tap connection. Must be some now with 5/5 reviews at amazon and Argos. Preferably I’d go for an unkinkable old style hose but dearer.

Did you hear about the 2 Spanish fireman?

Jose and Hose B.

Made me smile.

Said it before and I'm sure I'll be saying it again soon:-

Football will be the ruin of this place, now where are my slippers.

LOL LOL

It will be strange on here when football starts again.

But all in all I think that NSC has been quite a pleasant humorous distraction to what has been going on around us.

Another hands up for hozelock. Don't forget your vaseline.........for the 'O' rings on the connector, nobody likes a dry ring

Indeed, Frank and the Boys explain this technical issue in more detail...

In my experience, you won't get a better make of hose-pipe than Tricoflex.

We're thinking of purchasing a new hosepipe for garden, never had one before, always lugging watering cans around to garden.
Have been looking at various types of expandable hoses.
Any advice would be grateful on whether the expandable hose is better than the normal solid type.
Thanks in advance

Bought one of these bad boys at beginning of lockdown.

Easy to fit and excellent mechanism etc. Fits and locks to wall or detaches and therefore portable if you have front/rear taps.
