    ah she'll be right mate
    i have got the proper hose so i will just keep my eye on it after i am done
    i have only gota slide the fresh hose on an inch and a half past where it would normally be and clamp,i would like to cut the steel hose back but dont fancy blowin meself to pieces today
    but an easier fix than when i first noticed
    i nearly just went and got the matches,but i got no insurance
    but now i think i'll grab a beer instead
