Some versions of pole hose is 5mm internal, 8mm outer, reinforced. That's the stuff I'm wondering about..
Ah! That might be different from what I use, mines the bright yellow Gardiner stuff, I should have said that at the beginning sorry.
Maybe that stuff you're talking about might not be to bad
That's the stuff I just bought (from Gardiners) to replace all the hoses in all my poles.
Chap got himself tangled up in my black hose the other day, got me worried just in case.
When the hose came, remembered my first pole, years ago, had reinforced hose - part of which I've stil got somewhere.
Just got me thinking that in yellow, would be ideal.
Know you all know the extend of my bored mind and it's worries.
