OK, I agree. Perhaps the hose should have a female connector, and be used with a double male if it needs to connect to a female That is how the rest of the world does it. -- A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. |

I was really wondering why Hozelock don't produce one, especially if we have to buy one from New Zealand instead!! |
