Sibs what have you bought

[Mike k]

Bought two of those so called expanding hose pipes at £35 each - tried at home and NO expansion- maybe its the water pressure!!!!

You need a spray gun on the end (closed) to allow the water pressure to build up in the hose. One of the issues with them is that when you press the trigger of the spray gun to start using the hose, the pressure reduces and the hose starts to recoil. I bought one as well but haven't used it yet.

Bought 9 new blinds - another £400+ gone.
taking your own boat to the show is expensive - no carrying, and if you're not sure if something will fit you can go and measure!

Worth it though Mark. Your boat looks fantastic. Sorry to miss you there.

Bought one as well..couldn't resist it, sick of coiling a +50ft hose, but if all the other gimmick stuff I've bought at shows is anything to go by, then this may also end up in the bin! Got to say the demo was b****y good though...what do they say about suckers 'there will be another one along in a minute'. No doubt some time soon there will be new thread about expanding hoses

Does it work ?

 

[henryf]

It would appear so !

It gives a good list of wifi points with associated signal strength and details.

Certainly much better than using the MacBook built in antenna.

I bought a wireless doorbell for £10.00

Well pleased! Saved me trip to B&Q and it is better than the ones they have there.

So there you are folks, if you want a doorbell the boat show it the place to go!

Also bought one of them, and he threw in two dusk to dawn light switches for the price

Mind you one of then doesn't work
