Hose price crash is finally here!

£14.99. I think thats really good value, and I still think of people who have one of those wheels to wind their hoses up as being a bit posh too.

Anyway, £14.99, get in before the inevitable hose-pipe ban takes the bottom out of the market.

    A bit flimsy according to the reviews, but it should be good enough to water our pampas grass and small dogs.

    Thanks

    The crash has definitely bottomed... when I bought my house there was a FREE hose in the garden!!
  • I still haven't got round to buying a hose. They can't ban my watering can (£2.99 from Argos).

    I've been thinking about getting into Buy to Wet. Are you saying I should wait for the HPC first?

    Can I offset the cost of a rose, trigger and reel against tax or just the hose itself?

    So many questions...

    You're missing out.

    The feeling one gets while spraying local renting yoof with one of these, combined with a forceful fist pump and a well aimed groin thrust is....sublime.

    they will fall more!!! I think you are better off renting what if yours gets a hole in it?
  • I agree, i get a gardener to come round and water my plants so I save all the maintenance costs on the equipment which the sheeple never mention when buying a hose.

    Bought houses have better, greener and generally more fab grass than rented... apparently!
