Dear Mr or Ms product designer, if you're still reading, here's a product I'd really like. Being eco-conscious, I try to get by with stored rainwater and not using mains water on the garden. I bought one of those new-fangled expanding and shrinking hoses, only to find I'd wasted my money because it only works with mains pressure, a fact which the advertising conveniently forgets to mention. When I connect it to my water butt, nothing happens. So I still have to trudge back and forth filling and emptying the watering can. It's the same story with my conventional hose on a reel. If you can develop a hose that can be used with waterbutts, at a reasonable price, I'll be first in the queue.
I've an idea ... we'll have your place in Cornwall and you can have our place in Norfolk ... both have lovely coastlines but you'll be able to commute daily and get rid of your London pad
Strange. Most of Wales is stunningly beautiful hills, valleys, mountains, coastline. Gorgeous! East Anglia isn't all flat and boring either and has lovely areas and all those lovely Cromer crabs. Why deprive yourself?

He knows Wales is stunningly beautiful ... however he has memories of a disastrous childhood holiday there with his family which included a car crash, a robbery and some other event I can't remember ......... I'm working on him
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thank you Lyn, no I haven't. Your link tells me all I need to know except the price! It looks an awful faff to use, as I'd have to prise off the lid, no easy task, and couldn't replace it with the pump in situ, so I'd have to do it every time. I'll search and see if there's a pump that connects to the butt tap.
There should be some sort of system on this forum which would systematically delete all threads started by newcomers and containing "product designer" words in it.

That would seems a little bit counterintuitive would it not?
I mean you know nothing about me, surely the best thing to do is ignore this thread if you feel so strongly about it.
Because right now you are insulting me, and I'm afraid I'm not going to be insulted, so please do pick you words very carefully, perhaps read the code of conduct
