[carmenlucy123]

i drink out of the hose all the time done it all my life but after leaving private farm people on liveries think its horrible.

actually its refreshingly cold! who else does it?

just a laugh this one bored on a 12hr shift!!

Im a scruff

Not as organised to remember to take a drink down the Yard !!

 

[DreamerII]

I do it yeah!!!

Have to be careful though as I have sensitive teeth, so if I'm cold and it's cold it's NOT good!

We were talking about it the other day....YO does it too!

 

[carmenlucy123]

i got told at college i shouldnt as it could be poisonous.

i think its good to put some "bugs" in your body (does that make sense)

i also eat my toast without washing my hands!! thats right

 

[lilpinkdonkey4]

Whats wrong with it?? No difference from drinking straight from the tap. Is it bad to fill bottles from the hose tooo??

I never knew i was a scruff.

 

[DreamerII]

If we have lunch at the yard we never wash our hands properly (just rinse them from the hose).

Never been ill once, and I'm not dead so it can't be poisonous!

 

[Irishcobs]

All the time, I taught my bosses 3yr old son to do it too. Opps.

 

[lucym]

yeah i do, and i fill bottles up from the hose. and im not dead yet!!!

 

[katie_southwest]

I dont because in our little shed we always have drinks etc but if we ran out I would definately!

 

[Tinkerbee]

Yep
And its always colder than from the tap inside the house

 

[Fairynuff]

Ive been known to have a drink from neds automatic waterer

. If drinking from the hose makes you a "scruff", what does that make me?

 

[xfeex]

yep me too!

 

[Would_I]

yeap .. all the time

Are you actually meant to wash your hands before you eat?!

 

[Shantor1]

I do it in the summer if I've forgotten my bottled water. Cold and refreshing. We've a battered old caravan where we all pile in and drink tea coffee etc and we always wash our cups under the hose pipe. We haven't keeled over yet!

 

[molehill]

Definatly a scruff then!!!Probably worse than a scruff!!!

 

[moscow_mule]

Me,if it's good enough for the horse(and they generally have a much better diet than me lol)I'm also not dead yet,although that could be due to the addatives/preservatives(DRINK in my best Father Jack voice)

 

[LeneHorse]

No I only drink coffee (but you should see the cups we drink it from - yukk)

 

[Llwyncwn]

I answered No. We have spring water on the yard and when I once filled the kettle on the yard, a tadpole came out

Also, when we have had a very hard down pour the water can get discoloured. Living in an ex mining area, there are all sorts of unsavories in the spring water.

this post makes me laugh - i'm a tink at the stables - no problem drinking from hose, or eating with dirty hands - if they are really bad, I'll give them a quick wipe on my dirty jods! sniff it and see milk in manky cups, and i'll share an apple bite for bite with my horse.

however at home, i won't drink water out the tap, always bottled and all food has to be in date and not look odd or slightly old and if I catch a whiff of anything dodgy, the contents of the fridge are dumped.

but back to front, my flat is a tip, while my stable is immaculate, not a spec of shavings out of place and scrubbed water buckets, probably cleaner than the tea room cups.

I'm confused, am I a snob or a scruff? or both?..what do those men in white coats want?
