Our old trailer is parked between the sheds with the old chassis and body inside, it's now been joined by what must be a hundred plus gallons of water ! 3/4" square tube side posts and 1" roof bars, the roof sheet is now dipped down to the level of the window bottoms and full of water.

Climb up the top of that wall.
A photo of the top will show US what resides there.
We can then have a corporate think on water (sorry!) do about it.
Remember - To you, it's a problem.
To US.
It's a crusade!

It's not a problem to Brock just an inconvenience. He'll have it sorted in a juffy cose he's clever like that.
Oh and that wall. Not ideal for standing on unless you have a death wish to fall off it.

The traditional Suffolk Juffy was always painted a cornflower blue with red wheels.
Not sure on the Wiltshire paint scheme.
The traction engines chain ploughing the fields.
The farmer and his Juffy.
Part of history now, apart from the private Juffy collections.
HRH The Prince of Wales.
Lord Brock of Marlborough.

The Juffy was a product of the coopers trade.
Used for carrying large amounts of water to the fields.
Initially a large barrel or box, mounted on a small cart.
In Suffolk drawn by a Suffolk Punch.
In the north, a Dales.
Some were utilising a large leather container, a Juffy Bladder.
The pump seals and hoses were also leather.
They have rarely stood the test of time.
The Spanish used a flat version of the bladder, the juffa cake.
It had a two handled pumping mechanism.
Water could be drawn from a stream etc.
Used primarily in factories farms and large estates.
It became the origins of the first fire engines.
Hence the corruption....
"We'll be there in a (sic) Jiffy.
I was surprised that Lord Brock had one. Perhaps a later, brass valved, Sevenake?! (rare indeed)
I believe Thomas Hardy wrote an essay that featured mention of one, in his "scouring of the White Horse"
Looked Juffy up on Google...Hoping to post a picture of a Juffy.
I think it challenged their mainframe computer.
As this is all it produced...
Means-
Wild, hot, hot, hot sex in an airport washroom.
But you didn't mean that, Tazet.
YOU meant jiffy.
