    The Walipini Project (aka greenhouse shenanigans)

    Something like that. Control the flow a bit and tank it with maybe a solar pump. They're usually bugger all use of course so I might just leave it well alone!

    I always make sure I have cash ( notes and coins ) to hand - it's the best way for the local egg and veg. places which only use "honesty boxes". How does one define "legal" beggars as opposed to "illegal" ones ? Donating to registered local charities is the safest way I find- usually at least.
