Go plastic, loads of options.


Plastic taps are bound to deteriorate in the sun.
And inside the house, I've had a lady visitor who couldn't remember which
way to turn a tap off, so she wound it the wrong way until the plastic
tap broke, causing a fountain in my bathroom.


Last week I went to fill a watering can from my big butt. [insert
compulsory Fnaaarr!]

It was completely full. I was surprised by how much pressure a big full
butt can contain when the tap sheared off. It was almost like being hit
with a water cannon.

Area around butt now well watered.
