    I've had an expensive hozelock one, and a 2 quid spinning one from Wilko. The cheapo was better and lasted years. I've lost it. So I went to Wilko again. This time I spent 8 quid on their oscillating one. It's early days but it performs well so far.

    Can anyone identify this Hozelock fitting?

    Thank you. That is precisely what it is. For an old-style kitchen tap. The fact I have an outdoor tap I never even considered that.

    'Overwintering' petrol lawnmowers

    Good call, I have had issues with E10 in my classic car - it is hydroscopic and left overwinter in a mower will most likely destroy rubber seals etc within the fuel system.

    question regarding metal sheds

    Sorry, can't really help you as it was 15 years ago and I can't remember. It certainly wouldn't have been online. So probably one of the DIY stores.
