I noticed a lot of chaps with their own hosepipes and fittings this year. I suppose that they were mostly used for legal purposes, but if I wanted to take my own next year, can anyone tell me what size the fittings are for the standpipes. I bet they're not standard 50 or 75 mm threads!

The ones on Houx Annexe this year and the ones on Expo last year were standard external threads. Not sure whether 50 or 75mm but the standard one we had fitted fine.

Just looking at a ruler and 75mm looks far too big. 50 looks quite large too but might be the right size. There should be at least one person with the right size fitting anyway so just ask them if you can borrow their thread and connect your femail hose connector onto their male connector.  |

After a diet of red meat, beer and red wine for a week I don't think any of our group need any loosening off in that area. |

We bought a cheap hose and nozzle set this year at Carrefour for 'amusement'. It came with various sized adaptors and fittings which are the same as UK tap threads. So no probs there. Us (and many passers by) got very wet in Houx Annexe on Sunday night. |

Must admit, I was wondering about a very long hose up to the Houx Annexe Roundabout next year instead of worrying about refilling the SuperSoaker!! |

the best price for a basic 7m hose + the nozzle is around 7 euros on every DIY store... regular lengths are 7, 15 and 25 meters but you also can ask for the lenght you desire as they sell it by meter...

As far as I remember, we were gready and went for the full 25 metres (for extra manoeuvrability)  One of our number brought it home with him to water his garden. |
