Water features.

A trough
A covered well.
A cess pit
Outdoor loo
2 outside taps
Covered ditch
Open ditch

Definitely no pool or anything posh.

at least 2 NPs have pools and one has a whole lake.

please can the other NPs list all water features within the boundary of their properties (bidets do not count as a water feature of the purposes of this survey).

i have no water features unless you count the puddle which sometimes forms on our tiny balcony, or the recurrent leak in the hallway.

no water features, although my back garden did resemble a swamp until this morning

small world eh LIR? although i am not sure we can count that as one degree of separation if i have talked to the connecting person but they wouldn't recognise me or have a clue who i was if you said my name to them. definitely a solid 2 degrees of separation though!

Ah well.
I ended up spending most of the day cleaning my turtles' tank. Productive at least....

our poor turtle died ages ago. we didn't have to clean the tank much though because we had a couple of plecostomuses in there which did the job for us. apparently the turtle should have eaten them, but all it seemed to want to eat was the fish food and bits of cucumber. the guppies we put in there for it to snack on all died of old age.

Pfft. Distant one degree i think. After all if that were your connection to (insert chewy's female lust object of choice) i bet you would think of it as a one degree :rotfl: the difference is probably in pov of said person, because of enviorment of conversations etc. i think rather well of that persson, but i can see that with respect to what you said early you might consider them......ineffective or not meeting challenges effectively. Or something.

And, my bil was where you and ndg were at about the same time, so more potential there for a coue of degrees removal.

My only external water feature is a tap to wash my car with. A bit useless given that we had a hosepipe ban until about a week ago. Being very MSE, I keep the tap switched off at the internal stop in order that nobody waters their cars or lawns with my water.

I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but BA has an interactive version of the London Calling advert where you can get the plane to pass your house.

Just go to http://taxi.ba.com/ and add your postcode. I've tried it with my old house and my parents' house and its ok but I love it when I use it on mine, it goes straight past my front door.
