Default hosepipe blows off tap with pressure

Hi,

I have two typical 'hoselock' hosepipes and connectors. They refuse to hold
water when not being used, like with those gun attachments you get that can
be turned off without turning the main tap off. I connect these to outside
taps, even though I turned the mains water pressure down, after about 30
seconds of non use, the hose fills with water, drips at the main tap and
other connections, then blows off under pressure.
This is annoying and I'm sick of the garage getting flooded.

Is there any screw on connectors that can be bought that I hope will be
better than the push on stuff? Maybe there is some other solution....

James
