Me brother has a new job...

As the title says, my brother has a new job. He is going to be working for a company called OneWater. Guess what they sell?

Welsh water from the Brecons. But, and here's the pitch, after the overheads, the cash goes to put in things called Playpumps in Africa. Usual borehole idea, put in a school, with a 2500 litre tank attached. Pump is not normal, hand-operated  standpipe, however. No, pump is attached to a roundabout, suitably placed in the playground. Kiddies play, water is pumped into tank. Anyone wants water, tap on base of tank.

I thought it was pretty cool...

Oh, somewhere here there's a link to an article about those... Brilliant concept, and congrats to your brother for choosing a good company to work for.

I hope they make tons of money!

aqs i have been given the role of toadfish pedant what it actually says is 'me' not 'my' do a win a prize?

but it is cool!

The prize is either a matching black pot and kettle, or first go (lasting 24 hours) on the roundabout.

It's given me an idea. There's a skateboard park not far away. With a few giant coils and some strap on magnets I might be able to get free electricity.
Even better, I could throw it into reverse from time to time and launch some unexpecting dude into Norfolk.

For that last sentence, no. Shame on you, Pedant Goat. Your penance is three hours with the squidlings...

  and I mean it really!
Imagine the look on the face-- of course you'd have to catch the buggers to get the magnets strapped on first.


I think this is a great idea -the water tank and roundabout-that is a merry go round, right?  Of course it is!  this is an example of a useful,necessary idea that utilizes common sense

I think the water pump could be the start of a whole new industry. Just imagine what you could do with a treadmill and the latest Harry Potter just out of reach.

We used to be at the forefront of using child labour here but the Earl of Shaftesbury put a stop to it. Obviously the man didn't understand developmental issues

I'll look out for the OneWater brand in Tesco. Might be able to make it the standard office brand for meetings.
