My comments 2008
January
I have never thought much to solar operated fountains, I was talking to Exclusive Fountains and they said they think so so
too, so much so they have written
this
page Even though they supply solar operated fountains they get people
thinking solar is just as good as mains.
February
Just come back from B & Q, I noticed their "display" of
water features has now gone, no its not because its Feb. I think its
because they were not that good in the first place, but more to the point
the water level was never topped up in them so they often did nothing
other than make noises, if you have a water feature, make sure it is kept
topped up with water.
I just love UK tv garden's forums (Tongue in cheek)
Just seen this on there
Hi, i have noticed at the end of the step by step it says cut the
liner approx 225mm ... but my pond is hard plastic an curled under at the
rim, what do i do

The poster did not pay attention, the guide clearly
shows / said flexible liner, he has a rigid liner, the other thing that
really tickles me about those forums is the number of people that still ask can
you come and do my make over, to Ground Force, they stopped making the
programme in 2005 ,

Its a similar thing with Charlie Dimmock,
people think she actually reads the messages
Don't believe me
click
here
Just goes to show people do not read what is in front of
them. (I never liked Miss Dimmock much anyway, (we all know why
blokes watch it, I only watch to see the water features and ponds, and the
gaffs ) since she said the trouble
with fountains is you never know how high they will be, that's absolute
rubbish, I am trying to get a sound clip where she says it, if you have it
send it to me)
Yes, I know I "killed the forums stone dead" with my
factual comments, but some one had to since the hosts were not going to do
it.
When will people learn? I have just seen a "pump" on
eBay for £100 less than a new one, the seller even links to it, yes
it was never used, but would you buy it? no, neither would I, the other
thing is the pump in question has been out of production for the last 3
years, so its not as "new" as the seller claims, the auction
ended, and not one bid. it has since been re listed now with £300 off, and
still not one bid, the reason is, the starting bid is £200
I have also been working on here, I have added the
following pages
Puddled clay
Monoliths
March
The Fountains
society after several emails they corrected an error they had
regarding the status of a fountain, they said it was working but it has
not worked in over 3 years. I wonder how many others are wrong?
April
I don't believe this (well yes I do) some one has just
asked for a Ground Force make over on UK TV style garden's website, the
words dense and reality spring to mind, (Bear in mind Ground Force
finished production in 2005) go on have a look
click here
Had a shuffle round of the website. water features
and fountains now have their own home pages.
Got a comment? then share it with me.
May
I have had server problems, and as a result all hit
counters have now been set to zero
June
E-bay, i have to laugh, two people selling the same
thing, both used little, but look at the starting price of the 2nd one, I
am not surprised no one is bidding for it.

| Look at this, its being sold for a friend who no longer
has a shop, yes its RRP was around £400, yes he is losing
money, but look at the starting price, oh and the Nautilus 400 is
obsolete.

Don't forget, if you have a different opinion,
then email it to me.
July Its the height of the
season, why not build a water feature or pond? and do send me your
pictures |
