So, faffed about manoeuvring another vehicle into the driveway and jump started the truck.Set off down the village and across the fields to the well... it has a mahoosive 7KW three phase pump that sucks the water up from about 100m below ground.Put the pipe in the tank and pressed the start button. I have to run from the pump control to the truck as the water comes out at such great pressure the hose will come out of the tank and dance around the fields like a demented snake.So I grabbed the hose and held it in the tank when BANG one of the main 6" hoses split sending a mahoosive column of water about 100m into the air, all over me and all over the three phase power cables that link to the pump! I was lucky to escape with my life... Is that all? Wasn't that enough...?And Tinks is here now (she sends her regard). Why oh why did they have to chat on the 'phone for ten hours this morning if she was coming round this arvo? Say hello to Tinks for me then ~ Is that one regard to share among us or one for each of us?
