At the Theatre we now have a very long hose to water all of the flower
plants which have been provided, complete with troughs, by a local

foyer because nobody can see it :-)

Typical ,somebody donates something and the item is then ill treated.
Lying on the flat roof it will have it's life shortened by the heat
of the Sun and the Ultra violet degrading the material.
But it was free so who cares. And presumably this flat roof needs to
drain rainfall freely ,a lying hose will form a nice little dam that
will cause pooling and ultimately leaks through the roof . Then the
begging bowl will be rattled again or money demanded from the council.
