Went to the Hardware Store today to have a look at the new hoses,..liked the look,..the description,.. so i bought one,..25 foot would be enough to attach to my present hose and as the new one is flexible it wouldn't knock over or break any plants.
Bad move,..when i opened the box the attachments all three were made of a plastic so that if one stood on them they would break,..then i noticed the tap attachments were for UK taps,..not the modern household ones we have here,..ours are not round but square at the tap mouth,..same type as in most USA Hotels and i presume City homes,..it also states that third party connections will not fit they must be from the firm that makes the hose,..its going back tomorrow,..cost was £29=$32.23.
