Blocky71 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 So after 6 weeks or thereabouts we finally got some much needed rain down here in the SE, when I got home from work and after some heavy downpours I went to check the barrels that had been dry for a month. There was only about 10cm in the bottom of each barrel?, I was expecting them to be half to three quarters full?. After checking all pipes, guttering and divertors for blockages I finally realised I'd left both taps open after cleaning them!. What a pleb I am......

TeaCake Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I see you're also in Kent! I could hardly contain my joy when the rain came... I was out and about with the other half at the time going off on one about my butt That said, I'm sorry for your disappointingly empty butt.

Dunc Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Got the t-shirt for doing this in the past too. Also leaving the small pump on in my outside butt that I use for transferring water into the greenhouse. Result, empty butt and burnt out pump.....

Blocky71 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Oops Dunc, ( when I typed Dunc it autocorrected to Dunce ) I'm relieved I'm not the only wazzock on here ! . @TeaCake Thank you for your commiserations!, I did manage to collect up a fair amount since but looking like us Kenties are in for another dry spell. Where abouts in Kent are you TC ?, there's a couple of us about, my nearest hobbyist is Gravesend. cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaCake Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 @Blocky71 I’m in Orpington, what about you? I wonder if your fellow in Gravesend is the same hobbyist I found selling some sarras on Facebook marketplace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Ahhhh, I know Orpington a bit and I used to work at cokes just down the road in foots cray... I'm guessing it's the same fella in gravesend, I've collected some plants from him a couple of years back. He used to always have listing on eBay but can't say I've seen him lately. I'm down in chavvy Chatham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 There's a fellow in Bromley if I remember correctly, loaksey I think was/is his username. Not seen him about either lately.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaCake Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Coke is just round the corner from me. I’m in St Paul’s Cray. Small world! I keep meaning to message the chap in Gravesend about going to see what he’s got available. The stuff he has on his FB listings looks really nice!

Loakesy Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Loakesy still pops by from time to time, though not as much as he used to... Yes, I'm in Bromley, and know SPC fairly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
