    Thank goodness it was just a hose, not a horse. Can you imagine the damage a leaking horse could have done? Still, the emperor could have gone for a ride on a horse - which you can't easily do on a hose.

    OK OK, I get me coat.....

    Sorry, Tabbey, we are exhorted to be nice to new posters and some of us got carried away.

    If I understand you right, you have just bought a house and a leak has caused some damage. I think you should post on the 'House Buying, Renting & Selling' forum, where, if you put your question in more detail, you should get helpful answers.

    Not a good time to be buying a hose, go to hosepricecrash.com to see all the drips saying hoses are going to leak any day soon.

    "brought", "hose", "water damage" and they want to be told how to
    sue!
    There are people who make typos and/or mis-spellings; fair enough we all make the odd mistake.
    There are people who are ill-educated; a sad reflection of society that we have to live with.

    the OP could be either of those, but their next reply - well please!
