ReplyDeleteAll allotment holders round here have an old bath! They're the best bit of equipment for dipping a watering can!

A farmer friend keeps all manner of old stuff on the principle 'it doesn't eat much'.
ReplyDeleteSam - you are probably right, yet we see lots of farms where one would assume the scrap had some residual value before it began rusting away.
ReplyDeleteMichael - I think it is just possible that this one was supposed to collect rainwater in some way which has now disappeared.

Brewing beer?
ReplyDeleteDemetrius - the cows would probably enjoy it but I'm not sure what it would do to the milk.
