Hippo's latest activity

I saw the most enormous caterpillar today: It was travelling across the shed floor as fast as its little legs would go. I wonder what it will turn into? Edit - maybe it's the larva of an elephant hawk moth.

Well dinner was a success, although we had to drive 1.5 hours in each direction in 39 degs heat with no aircon, still with the windows down and the roof wound back it weren't too bad. Dins was delish, fabulous place, and the owner, bless him...

Chatting to a ground worker on site today, a fellow Tratter nutter, worked in an LR outfit at some time. 'Either you get Defenders, or you dont..' Am delighted to reside in the former half of the statement. Obverously summink wrong with the rest...

Well I hiz no plumberist, but this is what I have read. Maybe the person witing it had no idea, maybe he meant it was reduced to this. Edit, only just realised who was writing this! Oops! The proper plumberist has spoken, so now I will proceed...

i have just fitted two of those pumps to mine and my mates caravans and they work fine as they are, we were sick off the outboard pumps you drop in the barrel and cost £60 the new pumps were £20 each of jeffs emporium . we have to not open the...

The dutch invented it, to cap it all! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Or so I have heard!!!

The uk mains is a lot higher than 1 to 1.5 bar most mains is about 3 to 5 bar often with a pressure reduction valve, at 1 bar all these megaflow systems and combi boilers would not work very well at all, i have seen over 10bar blow me gauge of...

Got a call from garage, service and belt changed on new car. Test drive lost coolant as the egr was leaking. Are you kidding me..... Original fl2 picked up and has a nice shiny rear end.

Wimmins have to wear diaphragms to protect themselves from serious pressure releases I was told.

I'll fit some sort of valve and turn the pump down, need 40 psi max

Sadly it isn't as easy as that, if it was plumbers wouldn't fit water pressure reducing valves. I actually looked into how they work, in case ours here packs up. tis all to do with a spring and a diaphragm.

Should take the soap scum off the shower enclosure and the skin off the bather quite nicely I reckon. ;-)

I did manage to get up early enough to clean out and restraw the hen hut. It was still in the shade by the time I had had brekker and did the job. We then went of to Castres for the monthly big shop and a nice lunch. Blinking hot it is/was. Last...
