Just been up to the park for my daily check on the Fruitflowers and found several broken air pumps. I am not really surpised – they are not designed for this kind of intensive use – but the thing that did surprise me was that it wasn’t the ‘pound store’ ones that were broken but the more upmarket supermarket versions. Of course this is not an observation based on scientific research – maybe these are more appealing – they are bigger and look more robust so perhaps they have been overused and the cheapy ones overlooked. Also some of the more expensive ones were wedged permanantly into some of the really good flowers so maybe they just gave up after extended pumping.
I will never know.
