With the exception of Fallout some of us like gardening. If so you may have a water butt or two. Shame on you if you thought this thread was about something else.
In the south east corner of my estate I have three large linked butts that collect water from my shed roof. As the supplied taps are usually so slow I got the loose top variety and dunk in from the top when I need to retrieve some of the contents. If you also have this kind of butt for goodness sake make sure the lid is always secured in place or at least weighted down.
I was down there this evening wondering who had knocked the weight and lid off butt two when the drowned squirrel that almost certainly did so bobbed up to the surface beside the submurged watering can. I jumped a mile!! [/public_info]
