Taken some stick over this, this weekend. Simple error to make, belson - Belfast? ? quite similar?  For those of you who want to use a good heavy sink for watering your animals, I would recommend the BELFAST sink, as belson sinks are quite difficult o find? ?

Funny, I could not think what they were called as Belson (probably not so deep sinks after all) sounded correct!! They are very hard to get, I had one years ago in the garden and then had a re-conditioned one in my utility room, nice big deep sinks....Oh, I forgot, I have one now....**oody *ell!! it's too early for me.

Sorry Sandy don't want to quarrel.But I think Belfast Sinks are crap.Best place for them is in the garden full of iums or the likes.Cattle troughs is good as well but no good in the kitchen.You only need to catch your lead crystal and you need some newones for your tipple.They are far to solid are Belfast Sinks.Why are they called SINKS?

[sagehen]

I got one in the kitchen George. First couple of months I managed to chip most of our crockery  Lead crystal? Cocktail sticks? Is there summat you're not telling us, George?  I tend to drink my alcohol out of the nearest available container

Yeah Sage I look at all these magazines my up market friends read then I rescue them from the recycle bin read all the pictures  and some of the words then carefully place them in my recycle box.Dust man thinks my word hes come up in the world since he left Low Farm.He only had Farmers Weekly and the night paper then

Continuation sage.Why sage? Well the Head Gardener in Lady Yarborough's Garden is called Mr Hamilton and 2nd is Mr Zcartowski He has worked in the garden for over 30years and is extremely knowlegable about gardens Growing and flowers He is responsible for the flowers in the Hall every morning when he takes the garden produce for Cathy the cook. He also dresses the church for Harvest Festival, Easter and Christmas etc; Now sideways Can you remember a children's program on TV called the Herbs with Bay leaf the gardener and Sage was the all knowing one hence I christened Mr Zcartowski Sage and its stuck Even Lady Y asked me Have you seen Sage this morning .

Butler sinks are the same, you  chip everything and the corners are dammed hard to clean too!

[Wizard]

You are so right Jackie I feel there is no give in them like a stainless steel one I know s/s can break your glass ware or your china A little drop washing up your cup and dropping it in a s/s sink often doesn't matter buy a earthen ware one breaks the dropped crockery every timedon't it

Ive just found another one lurking in our garden, been hidden for a while, so no need to buy a new water butt for the new pig pen now!!!!

 

[Wizard]

Yeah they make a grand watter troff till piggy decides its a good imitation rugby ball P P 

[pedigree porker]

I would not like to meet the porker who can use a Belfast sink as a rugby ball!!!!!!

 

[sandy]

I could bath in my Belfast sink (might need a hand out though,and, yes, OK, I break loads of things in it but great for cleaning out cooker trays, dirty great pans and filling buckets P.S I had some nice crystle glasses and I moved the cupbord with them in it and, yes,  you've guest, they all fell out and broke!!!

[sagehen]

The cat likes to sit in it for some reason. I often think it's to cool his bum or something. He doesn't drink the water or anything, he just sits in it. Weird cat.

We have a Belfast sink in the field for the pigs to drink out of.  We did have a bath, but had to go for a lower optin for the piggies.
