I was given a bottle of jack daniels today. I have never tried it before so tonight is a bit of an experiment, so I may be rambling a bit in reply to the hose reel thread, but here goes.
I am proud of my old hose reel, I found it in a skip about four years ago, it is a hozelock and it was free. From time to time I need to replace the 'o' ring for the spindle connector, but apart from that it has been a total star.
I have had an eye on the hose reel threads for a while now, and have been sblack personing (laughing)up my sleeve when I see some of the prices that you boys are paying.
If ever my old duffer really gives up the ghost I will be straight onto the nearest hozelock dealer for a new one, with the certain knowledge that it will be good for at least four years.
The main advantage for me is that I can easily replace it there and then in any high street whereever I am, and continue to work for the rest of the day.
I think I will call my hose reel harvey.........

added: it edited sn****ring and put "black personing" what a silly world we live in. S n i g g e r r i n g
