Bought this the other day
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws....=1&rd=1
Wife is going mad but I thought it might look good as a water feature in the garden. Don't know much about them at all. Not sure even what colour they are supposed to be. Don't have them over here.

How can that pun not be intended?  '>
But I've seen them all sorts of colors across the country--mostly red, sometimes yellow or white--and once this terrible puke green. Trying to remember where that was. It made an impression, but probably not the one you're after. Here I am years later trying to remember, "where was that terribly ugly thing".

Ours are yellow, but I remember as a kid some of my favorites were painted to look like little firemen with helmets.

Ours in NJ are red, some with white hats and valve plates... many in the bigger cities are closer to rust color... '>
